- Edible flowers
- Suits all soils
Sow: March to June
Flowering: June to September
Sowing
Level-fill a tray with seed compost, firming gently with the base of another tray. Water well with a fine rose. Scatter seeds thinly and cover with 1 cm of compost. Place in a propagator at 15–20 °C, or cover the tray with cling film and leave in a warm room.
Growing On
When shoots appear, remove the cling film. Keep seedlings in a light position, shading from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant 5 cm apart into trays of potting compost or singly into small pots. Grow on at a minimum temperature of 10 °C.
Hardening Off / Planting Out
Gradually accustom plants to outdoor conditions for 2–3 weeks before planting out 30 cm apart when the risk of frost has passed. Water well until established.
Sowing Outdoors
Sow seeds in pre-watered soil at a depth of 2 cm in their final flowering positions. Keep the soil moist until seedlings emerge, and water well during dry spells. Thin seedlings to around 30 cm apart.
Advice
Unusual, variegated foliage with upward-facing blooms. Easy to grow, the edible leaves and flowers have a peppery taste. Nasturtiums perform best in poor soils without feeding and are excellent for companion planting schemes. Freshly-picked flowers add colour and flavour to salads.
RHS Pollinator Friendly
This variety is attractive to pollinators, helping to support bees and other beneficial insects.
