Tropaeolum majus 'Climbing Mixed'
nasturtium
A succession of long-spurred, funnel-shaped, yellow, orange and red flowers appear from July to October amid the light green leaves of this easy to grow annual climber. These colourful nasturtiums are perfect for covering bare walls in record time, or for scrambling over sunny banks and slopes.
How to care for Tropaeolum majus Climbing Mixed:
Avoid overwatering or over-feeding (once per fornight with a diluted liquid feed is ample) to avoid producing leaves at the expense of flowers. Requires minimal maintenance though a check for caterpillars and blackfly will help reduce incidence of defoliation. Dead-heading regularly will also encourage an even better display.
Sowing instructions:
Soak the seeds overnight and then sow an early crop under glass in good seed compost, covering lightly. Maintain the temperature between 13-16°C and water when necessary. When large enough to handle, pot on or acclimatise slowly and plant outside after all risk of frost has passed. Alternatively sow directly outside in mid to late spring.
