A variety that has nothing to do with the wild orange nasturtiums, which carpet the slopes in my area so well: the plants remain quite stunted, sometimes just 1 flower (but what a magnificent colour) peeks its nose out... a shame....

Description
The Whirlybird Cherry Rose Nasturtium, also known as Tropaeolum majus, is a vigorous annual that quickly forms a wide carpet. Its edible flowers are semi-double and spurless. They proudly emerge above abundant medium green foliage and display a beautiful intense pink, leaning towards cherry red.
It has a compact habit, 30 cm (12in) tall by 30 cm (12in) wide, it is very easy to grow, and you can associate it with more classic varieties or with other annuals like Maryland Zinnia.
Originally from South America, the Nasturtium has pretty flowers in bold colours, ranging from yellow to red, and beautiful round leaves that are always fresh.
The Nasturtium has everything to please: it is easy to sow, grows quickly, flowers from June to the first frost, spreads widely to cover the ground, creates a flowery border, or takes over your trellises. It also grows very well in pots on balconies and patios.
All parts are edible: the leaves and flowers in salads, as well as the seeds, pickled in vinegar like capers. Granted, it attracts aphids that are fond of it. However, do not deprive yourself of this lovely plant: in the vegetable garden and orchard, it is an advantage as it diverts attention (while hosting valuable food for ladybug larvae) and thus protects your crops.

Planting and care
Sow Nasturtium seeds directly outdoors, in their final location, from March to May. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil that has been well-prepared beforehand. Sow the Nasturtium seeds to a depth of 2cm (1in) in rows spaced 30cm (12in) apart, covering the seeds with soil equal to their size. Regularly water the soil, 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). Once the Nasturtium plants are big 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 after all risk of frost has passed.
Nasturtiums prefer a moist, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. They are often attacked by aphids and cabbage white butterflies. Spraying a compound solution of traditional black soap and water (4 to 5 cc / 1 l of water) will help limit the damage in case of a severe aphid infestation.

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.
