Mr Fothergills Nasturtium Alaska Mixed
Description
Easily grown, marbled foliage and hot coloured flowers. Excellent for patio tubs and borders.
Nasturtium
So easy to grow, it is rightly one of the most popular annuals. Flowers and leaves are edible and can be used in salads.
Sow outdoors, April-June, where they are to flower, 1.5cm (½") deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Sow two seeds together every 20cm (8"). Seedlings usually appear in 21-28 days. Remove the weaker plant, which can be transplanted elsewhere if desired. Water well until young plants are established. Or sow indoors for earlier flowers, February-May, 1.5cm (½”) deep, individually in small pots of compost. Keep moist. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out, May-June, 30cm (12") apart, into well-drained soil, when frosts are over. Flowers: June to October.
