Sowing very complicated: not much success with the number of seeds sown, after germination the plants languish. Not sure what to do anymore (what exposure? what temperature?) I think it's easier to sow in winter, in the cold, and then play with temperature differences using an adjustable heating mat. You actually need to recreate the natural growing conditions so it's a plant for the informed amateur.

Description
Tropaeolum majus 'Cream Troika' is a rare annual nasturtium bred by Van Hemert. This excellent variety carries masses of small, creamy-yellow flowers with dark red throats on long stems, over attractive green and creamy white marbled foliage. Perfect for brightening up the flower garden or terrace all summer long, happily overflowing from hanging baskets or softening the strict lines of paths and retaining walls. Nasturtiums are famously easy to sow and easy to grow. They will give good results in loose, average garden soil with plenty of sunshine.
Tropaeolum majus, commonly known as Nasturtium, is an annual climbing or trailing plant native to South America. It belongs to the Tropaeolaceae family and comes in a variety of forms, some of which are dwarf and compact, others with a trailing habit. 'Cream Troika' is a trailing variety that forms a low-growing carpet in one growing season (20 cm tall for a spread of 1m). It flowers from June to September, displaying an abundance of 5-petalled tubular, spurred blooms in a very soft shade of yellow, with a pretty dark red spot at the base of each petal. Pollinated flowers give way to small, pea-like seeds that are easy to sow. The foliage consists in round, bright green leaves with distinct veining and random cream-coloured splashes.
Nasturtiums are versatile, easy going plants that will find their place almost anywhere, from borders to rock gardens, pots to hanging baskets. They enjoy cool, loose soil and a sunny position. All parts of the plant are edible: leaves and flowers can be tossed into summer salads; seeds can be pickled in vinegar like capers. Nasturtiums can also be grown as companion plants in vegetable gardens or orchards as they create a diversion for unwanted insects such as aphids (whilst providing valuable food for ladybird larvae), steering them away from your precious crops. If your nasturtiums plants become overwhelmed with aphids, try spraying them with a mixture of water and soap.

Planting and care
Sowing:
Direct sow your Nasturtiums from March to May. Choose a sunny spot, with well-drained, loosened soil. Sow in rows, 2cm deep, 30cm apart, then cover. Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Germination usually takes 7 to 12 days. When the seedlings are strong enough to be handled, thin them out, keeping one seedling every 30cm.
Nasturtiums can also be sown indoors at a temperature of 15-25°C. When the plants are strong enough to be handled, transplant and harden them off gradually until they are ready to be moved outdoors (once frosts are no longer to be feared).
Nasturtiums like moist, well-drained soil, in the sun or half-shade. They are frequently feasted upon by aphids and cabbage moths. You can keep this under control by spraying your plants with mildly soapy water.

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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
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 planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
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.
