Vanilla Berry Hummingbird Nasturtium Flower Seeds

Vanilla Berry Hummingbird Nasturtium Flower Seeds

Draping Windowboxes and Containers

Nasturtium - Vanilla Berry - Tropacolum majus

Annual - These lovely new nasturtiums have custard-colored blossoms, each marked at the throat with a delicate foxpaw etching of deep strawberry. The top-setting, spurred flowers shine above blue-green lily pad-shaped leaves, and the mounding plants drape softly to cover empty garden spaces or gracefully fill in window-boxes and patio planters. Carefree Vanilla Berry's leaves and blossoms are edible with a watercress-like flavor, perfect as a spicy garnish to top salads or fancy open-faced sandwiches.

Soil & Water:Grow in any well-drained garden soil. No fertilizer is usually needed and too much nitrogen will create abundant foliage without substantial bloom. Do not allow plants to dry out during germination or bloom season.

Planting & Growing:To Start Outdoors: Sow seeds in spring, once the danger of frost has passed, in full sun (or partial 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 10" apart as mounding plants need ample room to grow. 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 per pot. When weather is evenly in the 50's, gradually acclimate to outdoor conditions. Transplant seedlings into the garden 10" apart in full sun. These mounding nasturtiums are reliable and easy to tuck into any well-drained spot. They are a perfect disguise to cover fading bulb foliage in late spring. Their softly draping leaves and sunny flowers will quickly fill garden beds or containers. In mild winter climates, sow seeds again by mid-June for late summer blooms. Leaves and flowers are tasty additions to salads and sandwiches.

Not many germinated

I put these in lrg barrels on my patio. Planted them like the others; Antique Empress of India, & I haven't gotten the germination on these like I did on Empress. Hoping I might see a few more plants pop up, & I'm still waiting for both varieties to bloom.

Easy

I sowed the seeds directly in the ground according to the package directions and everyone of them has germinated beautifully. Time will tell with how they bloom. So far, these have worked perfectly in my butterfly garden

Excellent germination

Excellent germination and growth early on.

Especially beautiful combined with Cherries Jubilee

Slightly trailing, the pale color with cerise markings in the throat is lovely surrounding a clump of the more mounding, deep cerise Cherries Jubilee. Packaging provides sowing details, and germination is excellent.
