Renee's Garden Hanging Basket Nasturtiums Little Firebirds

Stunning Cascade of Colors From Coral to Burgundy

Nasturtium - Little Firebirds - Tropacolum majus

Annual - This beautiful new trailing nasturtium offers a stunning cascade of color perfect for hanging baskets, window boxes or containers of any size. Firebird's deep burgundy, warm pumpkin and rich coral colored blossoms float in striking contrast over lovely variegated lily-pad shaped leaves. Use these stunning nasturtiums to ignite your patio or walkway with color all summer long. Firebird's edible blossoms taste like watercress with a hint of honey and make tasty and colorful additions to salads and seafood.

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.
