Garden Nasturtium, Dwarf Nasturtium
Foliage very poorly developed, almost no flowers... it's a far cry from the expanses of wild, well-covering orange nasturtiums seen in my region... so a huge disappointment!

Description
The Tropaeolum minus 'Baby Rose' is a dwarf nasturtium variety ideal for pots, hanging baskets, and flower borders. With its dense and neat cushion, this charming little plant has bright pink-red flowers that stand out against its dark green foliage. Not very cold resistant, this little nasturtium is grown as an annual in sunny locations and in cool soil. 'Baby Rose' was awarded the gold medal by Fleuroselect in 2020.
The dwarf nasturtium, or Tropaeolum minus, is a frost-sensitive perennial plant native to the mountainous regions of Ecuador and Peru. It belongs to the Tropaeolaceae family, just like its close relative, the larger nasturtium Tropaeolum majus, also known as garden nasturtium. Many varieties of nasturtiums have been developed, including 'Baby Rose', a recently selected cultivar by Takii in Japan. In just one season, this plant forms a small bushy clump measuring 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12in) in height and 30 to 35 cm (12 to 14in) in width. The leaves of the nasturtium are composed of small round, peltate leaves with radiating veins, in a dark glaucous green colour. It blooms from June to September-October, offering numerous small tubular flowers with 5 petals in intense magenta pink with white reverses, sometimes slightly speckled or edged in white, and equipped with a spur. In our climates, pollination of this plant is mainly carried out by bumblebees. After flowering, fruits form, containing seeds slightly smaller than peas, which are easy to sow.
Pair 'Baby Rose' nasturtium with begonias, lavender, and perennial geraniums. Blue fescue complements the colour of its foliage. In the vegetable garden and orchard, it helps eliminate harmful insects. Its edible leaves and flowers can be added raw to salads, sauces, and mayonnaise. They have a pungent and aromatic flavor reminiscent of watercress. The flower buds and young fruits can also be pickled, providing an alternative to capers.
The nasturtium gets its vernacular name from the spur that its flowers possess, resembling the hood of the habit of Capuchin monks. It is a medicinal and aromatic plant.

Planting and care
Sow the Nasturtiums directly outdoors, in their final location, from March to May. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil that has been thoroughly loosened beforehand. Sow the nasturtium seeds to a depth of 2cm (1in) in rows spaced 30cm (12in) apart, covering the seeds with a layer equal to their size. Water the soil regularly, especially during dry periods. Germination usually takes 7 to 12 days.
When the young plants are large enough to handle, thin them out to leave one plant every 30cm (12in). You can also sow Nasturtiums indoors at a temperature of 15-25°C (59-77°F). When the nasturtium plants are large enough to handle, transplant them and grow them in cooler conditions until they reach a sufficient size to be planted outdoors. This should be done as soon as the risk of frost has passed.
Nasturtiums appreciate a fresh, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. They are often targeted by aphids and cabbage white butterflies. Spraying a solution composed of traditional black soap and water (4 to 5 cc / 1 l of water) will help limit the damage in case of a massive aphid attack.

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.
