Collection of 5 Nasturtiums (Tropaeolum majus)

We offer you a collection of 5 Nasturtiums. It consists of:

2 large yellow Nasturtiums with orange spots

3 large red Nasturtiums

Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) is an annual climbing vine-plant reaching 2.5 m (8ft) in height, with round leaves of about 4cm (2in) of light green colour.

Its fast growth and continuous flowering from May to the first frost make it a preferred choice as a climbing plant, as well as ground cover for all types of terrain, including slopes and walls. It thrives in poor soils. You can also cultivate it in a pot, where it will make an elegant trailing plant. Originally from South America, it was introduced to Europe as a vegetable plant under the name "Peruvian cress"; it is now more often used as a biological aphid control (it attracts all the aphids in the vicinity, thus protecting nearby vegetables or fruit trees) than as a salad ingredient.

Green plug plants measuring 4 to 8cm (2 to 3in), sold in individual cases of 5 small plugs with a diameter of 2.8 cm (1in) and a height of 4 cm (2in). Our plants are at least eight weeks old and strong enough to be planted directly in the ground.

Individually labelled.

Note: Please be aware that our young plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them in a sheltered place (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks, before planting them outdoors once all risk of frost has passed.
