Description
Mr Fothergill’s Nasturtium Jewel Cherry Rose Seeds, Sumptuous colour, easily grown. Do not feed nasturtiums, as this will encourage leafy growth rather than flowers. They do well on poor, hungry soils and withstand fairly dry conditions.
Sow outdoors where they are to flower, 1.5cm deep, directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Sow two seeds together every 20cm. 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, 1.5cm deep, individually in small pots of compost. Keep moist. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 20cm apart, when frosts are over. Do not feed nasturtiums, as this will encourage leafy growth rather than flowers.
• A hardy annual, flowers the same year as sown
• Mainly semi-double blooms on compact plants
• Easy to grow in borders or containers
Sow time: Feb-Jun
