NASTURTIUM CLIMBING MIX - 20 GRAMS EDIBLE FLOWER SEEDS

Climbing Nasturtium Mix will need trellising.  Use this nasturtium to quickly cover a wall or any area in the garden that needs quick colour.  An easy to grow annual, as a bonus, the flowers and leaves are edible, delicious in salads,  omelette or on a sandwich.   

Plant in situ in early spring and throughout summer.  Should you live in a frost area, plant after the last frost is finished, or start early indoors.  They can be transplanted.   Sow 1 cm deep, the temperature must be about 20 to 25 degrees C for best germination.  Do not let germinating seeds dry out, and carefully look after the seedlings.  Once the plants are established, they thrive in poorer soils and need watering occasionally.  If there is no rain for about a week, they will need watering or in the middle of the hot summers a bit more often.   Do not over feed, as the plants will produce lush foliage at the expense of the flowers.

Please note that the seeds you buy from a seed seller should not be used for eating.  Providing that you have grown this plant organically, you can eat the flowers, leaves, stem, and seeds of your own plants.  Wash the produce carefully especially if it will be eaten raw.
