Nasturtium - Climbing Moonlight (Heirloom) - Tropacolum majus Annual - These lovely climbing nasturtiums have charming soft primrose yellow flowers and bright green foliage, much different than the usual bold and brassy color mix. They grow easily in any well-drained soil and will gracefully disguise neglected areas or climb up a fence, trellis or wall, providing a summer arbor of pretty lily-pad shaped leaves and long-spurred flowers. As a wonderful bonus, both the bright flowers and leaves are deliciously edible with a spicy watercress flavor.

Prepare a weed-reduced seedbed for Moonlight Climbing Nasturtium Flower and use the recorded planting season, depth, and light requirements. Press shallow-sown seed into good soil contact and keep the seed zone from drying during establishment. Thin or transplant only when the growth habit and spacing call for it. Leave enough room for mature width and air movement. Bloom timing and final height can shift with sowing date, climate, soil, moisture, and competition, so use listed figures as planning ranges.
Place Moonlight Climbing Nasturtium Flower where its recorded height and growth habit fit the surrounding planting. Shorter companions can be positioned toward bed edges, while taller stems need room where they will not shade small seedlings too early. If cutting flowers, harvest with clean tools at the stage appropriate to the bloom form. If leaving flowers in place, observe how bloom sequence changes through the season and record which sowing date performed best at the site.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Climbing nasturtiums are easy to grow in any well-drained soil. Fertilizer is usually not necessary and too much nitrogen will create bountiful foliage without much flowering. You'll need to train young plants onto their supports with loose ties, then they'll climb easily and bloom repeat. Do not let plants dry out during blooming season.
Planting & Growing:To Start Outdoors: Sow seeds in spring, once all danger of frost is over, in full sun (or part shade in hot climates). Poke seeds into well-worked soil about 1" deep and 3 - 4" apart. Press soil firmly over the seeds and keep moist. When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin to stand 10" apart, or 6 - 8" apart if training seedlings up vertical supports. To Start Early Indoors: Sow 2 seeds in individual 4" pots of well-drained seed starting mix 3 weeks before last expected frost date. Cover 1" deep. Provide a strong light source. When seedlings have several sets of leaves, pinch out the weaker seedling leaving 1 seedling per pot. When weather is evenly in the 50's, gradually acclimate to outdoor conditions. Transplant as above in full sun.

Something about the off-white ivory buds and flowers is surprisingly appealing. They self sow in my dooryard, but I also plant them for mixed containers to retail at my farm, and I have harvested the vines for cut flower arrangements Vines are delicate, but buds continue to open in the vase. Adorable, one of my favorite nasturtiums. Self-sown volunteers begin growing in mid-June after the poppies are over, and fill in those spots vacated by spring bloomers well with a floriferous parade until frost.
I love the buttery color of the flowers of this climbing, rambling nasturtium. Great packaging with plenty of information on the plant itself and how to start - and excellent germination rate.
Love these pretty little yellow climbing nasturtiums called Moonlight.
