Yes, *if* they have not been sprayed with something that
might be harmful and *if* they are not growing next to a
highway (lead, etc.). Flowers from florists are generally,
I believe, heavily sprayed and therefore inedible. If you
buy the plants at a garden center, that might also be true.
For clarity: I am referring to _Tropaeolum majus_ and
_Tropaeolum minus_. I do not think any other plants are
called 'nasturtium' but I don't trust plant names any more:
there's so much variation in them.
_T. majus_ are climbing or trailing nasturtiums, _T. minus_
are the smaller bushy types.
