Tropaeolum majus

Unique coloured flowers in a blend of primrose-cream flecked with pearly-red markings makes for a very striking plant indeed! Plants mature to 25 cm (10") in height.

How to Grow

As nasturtiums resent transplanting, directly sow seed into well drained soil in late May 2.5 cm (1") deep and 5 cm (2") apart, thinning seedlings to 20 cm (8") apart. Seed generally germinates within 12 days. Full sun is preferred. Partial shade is recommended in hot summer areas. Blooms have a peppery taste and are quite popular as a salad garnish. We recommend removing spent flowers to help lengthen the blooming period.
