Mr Fothergill’s Flower Seeds Nasturtium Jewel Mixed – 35 Seeds

Description

Brightly coloured semi-double flowers in a fabulous range of colours.

Sow & Grow:

Sow outdoors, April-June, where they are to flower, 1.5cm (½”) deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered.

Sow two seeds together every 20cm (8″). 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.

Sow indoors for earlier flowers, February-May, 1.5cm (½”) deep, individually in small pots of compost. Keep moist.

Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out, May-June, 30cm (12″) apart, into well-drained soil, when frosts are over.

Flowers: June to October.

Hints & Tips:

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.
