- Sow the seeds indoors between March and May.
- Alternatively, sow outdoors once all risk of frost has passed.
- Plant the seeds approximately 20mm deep and firm gently.
- Water lightly after sowing to settle the soil.
- Germination usually takes 7-12 days depending on temperature.
- Thin seedlings if necessary to prevent overcrowding.
- Avoid rich soil, as this encourages foliage growth rather than flowers.
- Water during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging.
- Allow plants to trail naturally or provide light support for climbing varieties.
- Remove faded flowers regularly to extend the flowering season.
Nasturtium (Tropaeolum peregrinum) ‘Canary Creeper’ (Climbing) is a fast-growing climber with orchid-like yellow flowers and finely cut foliage. Ideal for trellises or fences, it brings bright colour to the garden.
