Product Description

Annual. Blooms spring to fall frost. 10 - 12" tall, 5' - 6' vines. Full sun to shade. 2"- 2 1/2" bright shades of scarlet, gold, orange, and yellow. A charming climber that you can eat! Every salad should have edible Nasturtium and Viola flowers! Nasturtium flowers and leaves taste peppery like watercress. 'Tall Climbing Single' is an excellent vine for fences, trellises, hanging baskets, or as a ground cover. Never pamper your Nasturtiums with excess fertilizer - excess fertilizer will cause lots of green leaves and no blooms. They flower best in average garden soil with loose, light texture. Remove spent flowers to prolong blooming. Perennial in frost-free tropical climates. 'Nasturtium' comes from the Latin name for 'nose-twister', a reference to its peppery fragrance. Brighten up your vegetable garden with Nasturtiums - they deter whiteflies and squash bugs.

I've planted all the varieties of Nasturtium that Botanical Interests offer and after much trial and error and research, I realized the best way to get these seeds to germinate is NOT to soak them, as the packet recommends, but to cut away ("nick" or "scar") part of the seed. The seeds are sort of like little walnuts, and the key is to nick away part of the hard tan shell surrounding the seed and scrape away some of the dark brown membrane under to expose the white inside of the seed. If you do this before you plant them, and bury them in some semi-moist (NOT soggy) soil, you'll have great luck.

As far as height for this tall climbing variety, I haven't been growing them long enough to tell how tall they will grow, but the sprouted seeds are growing in both sunlight and shade and like moist soil.

Good luck!

These plants need to be in a sunny area all the time. I planted a few around our patio, the ones in the semi-shady area soon wilted and died, some were very small and never matured. A couple were directly under the sun are doing beautifully and have flowered as well. I tried the leaves (these are edible) and they almost taste like rocket leaves.
Hardly need any tending.
