Description
Whirlybird forms a compact mound of bright green foliage topped with showy, multi-colored blooms. Unlike other nasturtiums, Whirlybird’s spurless flowers stand well above the foliage and face upright. Magnificent color for a sunny spot in your garden.
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.
