 | Tropaeolum majus 'Jewel Mix'Nasturtium 'Jewel Mix' |
Description
An easy to grow, compact nasturtium for gardens and planters producing colourful double blooms of light yellow, orange and deep red. Blooms until frost. Direct seed in may where the plants are to grow in sunshine or part shade. Germinates at 18C in 14 days. Blooms in 10 weeks. Space 25cm apart, height 30-40cm. Approx. 7 seeds/g. Aphids are a serious problem with nasturtiums, but this can be put to good use in a vegetable area where a clump of nasturtiums can draw them away from your crop plants. The spicy flowers and leaves are edible, they contain mustard oil. Leaves are used as a salad green and young seed pods are pickled like capers. T. majus varieties are the true old-fashioned nasturtium, having been in cultivation for over 300 years.
