Arrived in good condition, but very small. While waiting for the outdoors, they are regaining strength in a pot.

Description

We offer you a collection of 5 Nasturtiums. It is formed of:

2 Yellow Nasturtiums with orange maculate

3 Red Nasturtiums

Nasturtium or Tropaeolum majus is an annual climbing plant reaching 2.5m in height, with rounded leaves about 4cm across in light green colour.

Its rapid growth and continuous flowering from May until the first frosts make it an excellent choice as a climbing plant, as well as an all-terrain groundcover - it thrives in poor soils - for slopes, low walls... You can also grow it in pots where it will make an elegant trailing plant. Native to South America, it was introduced to Europe as a vegetable plant under the name "Peruvian cress"; today it is more often used as an organic aphid repellent (it attracts all nearby aphids which then leave the vegetable garden or neighbouring fruit trees alone) than in salads.

Green young plants of 4 to 8cm in packs of 5 small plugs 2.8cm in diameter and 4cm high. Our young plants are at least eight weeks old and sufficiently strong to be planted out in open ground.

Individually labelled

Note: Please note, our plug plants are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under cover (conservatory, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C for several weeks before planting them outdoors once the risk of frost has completely passed.

Planting and care

You can plant your nasturtiums in the ground or in pots. If you are planting them in the ground, wait until the last frosts have passed. In the meantime, you can pre-grow them in pots in a warm, bright spot to speed up their growth. Plant your nasturtiums in a sunny position. They are very tolerant and appreciate poor soil. Very floriferous and with rapid growth, they can reach 2m in the space of a summer. Remember to stake them if you are using them as a climbing plant. You can easily propagate stem cuttings. Nasturtiums attract aphids; keep an eye out and treat any appearance.
