Mr Fothergills Nasturtium African Queen 25 Seeds

Nasturtium - African Queen

This is a delightful mixture of bright, single flowers above cool, green and white marbled foliage. The trailing stems can be used to decorate trellis, fences and larger tubs. This hardy annual reaches the height of 150cm.

Sow outdoors from April to June, where they are to flower, 1.5cm deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Sow two seeds together every 20cm. Seedlings usually appear in 21-28 days. Remove the weaker plant, which can be transplanted elsewhere if desired. Water well until young plants are established. Or sow indoors for earlier flowers, from February to May, 1.5cm deep, individually in small pots of compost. Keep moist. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions before planting out, from May to June, 30cm apart, into well-drained soil, when frosts are over. Flowers from June to October.
