- Bloom Time
- Summer
Description
Variegated foliage with splotches of creamy white makes this nasturtium stand apart. Bright flowers in orange, yellow, and red are a peppery addition to summer salads. May stop blooming in summer heat but will rebound in cool weather.
Plant in full sun, or part shade in hot areas, in warm, well-drained soil after all danger of spring frost. Start indoors four to six weeks prior to last spring frost, but note that delicate roots do not transplant well. Water consistently and do not fertilize. Nick the seed coat and soak in warm water 24 hours prior to planting to encourage germination.
