Description
This prolific, trailing plant can easily reach a length of 3m (10 ft) in one season. Can be trained vertically, but would need tying. Plant it in a flower bed, wrap it around a fence or archway, tumble it over a retaining wall, hang it from a planter. A variety of colours.
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.
