Alaska Variegated Mixed Colors Nasturtiums Edible Annual Heirloom Flower Seeds
Tropaeolum nanum
Listing is for 1 packet of minimum 15 seeds
This variety of nasturtiums has beautiful variegated leaves which makes it stand out in the garden. This is a mixed color variety so you could get red, orange, or yellow flowers. I always plant a ton of nasturtiums in my garden as they serve so many purposes. The flowers are edible and have a nice peppery flavor. The plants are low sprawling and cover unused areas of my garden or walkways to block out weeds. Most importantly, they attract a lot of beneficial insects and are a "trap crop" for aphids. Basically, the aphids would rather bother the nasturtium plants than infest my veggie crops. Whenever I plant tons of nasturtiums I don't get the typical infestation of aphids in the spring time. Plants get around 12-18 inches tall with double the horizontal spread. They reseed easily all around the garden.
Ideal Growing Conditions
Sun: Full Sun
Water: Allow the soil to dry out a little bit in-between watering. Established plants are drought tolerant.
Fertilizer: Does not require a lot of fertilizer. Can give it some balanced fertilizer every now and them to promote lush growth and blooms.
When & How To Sow Seeds: Direct sow seeds after your last spring frost date or when you start planting your fall garden. Plant the seeds about 1/2 inch deep and keep the soil moist to help speed up germination.
Germination: 14-21 days
Days To Maturity: Usually starts blooming in 2 to 3 months from seed
How & When To Harvest: These flowers are edible and have a nice peppery flavor. To harvest, pinch off flowers in the early morning. Frequent harvesting and deadheading of spent flowers encourages more blooms.
Common Diseases: Nasturtiums don't get too many diseases but in wet or humid environments can get powdery mildew or black spots. Improve airflow by proper plant spacing. Spray with 1 cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water to clean and disinfect.
Common Pests: The most common pest when growing are aphids. In fact, nasturtiums make a great trap crop by luring aphids away from other crops. Nasturtiums are vigorous growers and typically can handle the aphids but if the infestation gets severe, spray with organic insecticidal soap or spinosad.
