Description
The 'Peach Melba Superior' Organic Dwarf Nasturtium, scientifically known as Tropaeolum majus, is an annual plant with large cream-yellow flowers highlighted by a throat speckled with peach to reddish-orange. They bloom from July to October above a decorative, round, dark blue-green foliage that enhances the flowering. Plant it in borders, pots, or hanging baskets, where its stems will trail. Edible and organic, add its leaves and flowers to salads and enjoy their spicy flavour.
Nasturtium belongs to the Tropaeolaceae family. It is native to South America and is sometimes called Peruvian Cress. It is a climbing or creeping annual plant. It has given rise to numerous varieties and forms, which are more or less compact, with single or double flowers. 'Peach Melba Superior' Organic Dwarf Nasturtium is a dwarf hybrid, but vigorous, reaching a width of 40 cm and a height of 30 cm. The plant forms a beautiful mound of foliage and blooms from July to October, producing numerous 5 to 6 cm trumpet-shaped flowers that stand out well from the foliage. Their petals are unequal with a spur, cream-yellow with small touches of peach to reddish-orange in the throat. In our climates, it is mainly bumblebees that pollinate this plant. The flowering is followed by fruits containing seeds slightly smaller than peas, which are easy to sow. The foliage consists of round, peltate leaves, about 4 cm wide, of an elegant blue-green.
The 'Peach Melba Superior' Nasturtium prefers a warm and sunny exposure to flower well, but it can tolerate light shade. The size of its seed and its low requirements make it a suitable plant for beginner gardeners and children. On balconies, the 'Peach Melba Superior' Organic Dwarf Nasturtium generously fills pots, planters, and containers. It blends perfectly with trailing annuals such as petunias, geraniums and verbenas. Planted at the front of flower beds, it takes up space and acts as a ground cover, smothering weeds.
The leaves and flowers of Nasturtium are edible and add a slightly spicy flavour and vibrant colours to salads. When picked while still green, the large seeds, the size of a chickpea, can be pickled in vinegar.

Planting and care
Two ways of sowing Peach Melba Superior nasturtium:
Sow in pots under shelter in March-April, in groups of 3 to 5 seeds. Place your pots in a bright room at a minimum of 18°C. It takes about 18 days for the seedlings to appear. Transplant your seedlings to the garden in May, after the last frost. Space your plantings at least 50 cm apart.
Sow your Nasturtiums directly in the garden from May (when the frost has passed) to June, in groups of 3 to 5 seeds.
Water abundantly during cultivation. Removing faded flowers will encourage new flowering. Nasturtiums are a real treat for aphids and caterpillars (especially those of the Cabbage White butterfly). The advantage is that they prevent an invasion on your cabbages. Therefore, do not place them near your cabbages in your vegetable garden.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
