Nasturtium Whirlybird - Ontario Seed Company

Tropaeolum majus

Large, spur-less, semi-double blooms sit open-faced atop 30 cm (12") high bushy plants. An excellent nasturtium for hanging baskets, rock gardens or flower beds.

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.

Annual.
