Organic Garden Nasturtium «Double Gleam»
Considered to be a trailing plant, this variety reaches about 20 inches. It can grow in baskets where it trails out over the sides, or give it a structure to climb.
Grown from Nasturtium seeds, it establishes quickly and easily. Trailing Nasturtium Double Gleam has a striking effect with the soft salmon, semi-double flowers and lush gray-green foliage. Very attractive with blooms lasting from mid summer to mid fall or until first frost. Nasturtium care includes regular irrigation but drying out inbetween and no fertilization is required.
Nasturtium vine does best when it is left alone. It will tolerate most any soil type, but prefers not to be fertilized. Over-fertilization will produce lovely foliage, but no flowers. Keep watered, but allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Nasturtium is used as a companion plant for the vegetable garden. It is said that the peppery-flavored leaves ward off many insects. Nasturtium likes a full sun place in the garden in cooler climates. For the hottest regions, afternoon shade is preferable to Nasturtium plants. Tropaeolum Majus plants will grow anywhere as an annual, but they will only survive as a perennial in frost-free zones.
It is recommend to directly sow Nasturtium seeds outdoors in spring. Nasturtium seedlings do not transplant well into the garden when started indoors. Before sowing Nasturtium flower seed, soak the seeds overnight in warm water. The next day, plant the Nasturtium seeds 1/2 inch deep in an area that gets at least 6 hours of direct sun each day. Have the soil worked so that it's fine and light. Nasturtium flowers will appear in 8 - 12 weeks after being sown from flower seeds.
