Default nasturtiums

I have a big area of banky dry and rough ground that I really do not have
the time or energy to do much with so I am thinking of letting nasturtiums
run riot. Any recommendations as to what variety I should use to best
coverage and effect ?

As well as the annual plants, you could always try a perennial Tropaeolum
such as polyphyllum. If it's happy it will come up each year and spread
around. I would, however, warn against Tropaeolum ciliatum which is quite
liable to become very invasive, and is almost impossible to kill.
