Tropaeolum Majus

Nasturtium (Tropaeolum Majus Double Gleam Mahogany) - Tropaeolum Majus, also known as Garden Nasturtium or Nasturtium Indian Cress, is a flowering annual plant originating in South America in the Andes from Bolivia north to Colombia. The vines are an edible annual plant with trailing stems growing to 36 - 60 inches long or more. The leaves are large, nearly circular, 1 - 5 inches in diameter, green, with a 1 - 12 inches long stem stalk near the middle of the leaf, with several veins radiating to the outside. The mahogany flowers are quite large, with five petals, eight stamens, and a nectar spur at the rear.

Nasturtium flower seed is one of the largest of any flower species with only 8 seeds per gram. Because it is so large and easy to work with, it is an excellent seed for children to work with for the first gardening experience.

It is recommend to directly sow seeds outdoors in spring. The seedlings do not always transplant well into the garden when started indoors. Before sowing Indian Cress seeds, soak the seeds overnight in warm water. The next day, plant the flower seed 1/2 inch deep in an area that gets at least 6 hours of direct sun each day. Have the soil worked so that it's fine and light. The flowers will appear in 8 - 12 weeks after being sown from flower seeds.

Tropaeolum majus

Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus Strawberry Cream) - Attractive mixture of complimentary blotched primrose spotted and red flowers. Ideal in containers or garden borders. Attracts beneficial garden insects. Plants grow to 1 foot tall can spread 1 foot as well. Nasturtiums are easy-to-grow plants perfect for edging paths, planting in beds or adding to containers. Long-spurred blossoms attract hummingbirds, young nasturtium leaves add delicious peppery flavor to salads. Nasturtiums are one of the best mild-weather annual flowers for your garden.

Nasturtiums also makes a fine companion to vegetables in the garden by attracting bees and repelling destructive pests, particularly around Brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi, mustard and collard greens, etc.).  Nasturtiums are also useful as a barrier planting around your tomatoes and cucumbers, and some gardeners find it a helpful pest deterrent when ringed around young fruit trees.

Nasturtium is easy to grow from seed. Nick or soak the seeds before sowing. Then direct sow into the garden or the final container in which they will grow, or start them indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last anticipated spring frost in your area. Expect germination to take a week or so. The Nasturtium plants need full sun for best flowering; they will grow in part shade, but the blooms will not be as numerous or large. Poor soil often works better than rich for promoting bloom strength.

Tropaeolum Majus

Nasturtium (Tropaeolum Majus Orchid Flame) - These beautiful flowers have bright yellow with red edges. As the plants keep developing, the red creeps farther and farther across the bloom, creating all sorts of uniquely beautiful patterns. No two flowers will be just alike on this unique nasturtium.

Orchid Flame is a trailing variet spreading or cascading 3 to 4 feet tall; however, it only reaches 12 inches in height. This makes it a great choice for hanging baskets or trellises. It is also a quick grower  blooming heavily by early summer and keeps on going until the weather turns cold.

The flowers on Orchid Flame Nasturtium are unlike those of any other in the garden. Measuring 2 inches across, they stand out amongst any other flowers. Like all nasturtiums, they are edible, making lovely embellishments on cakes and salads. You can also use them hanging baskets, beds, containers, ground covers, as an ornamental, or a climbing vine. Their only downfall is they do not make a good cut flower.

Nasturtiums also makes a fine companion to vegetables in the garden by attracting bees and repelling destructive pests, particularly around Brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi, mustard and collard greens, etc.). Orchid Flame Nasturtium is also useful as a barrier planting around your tomatoes and cucumbers, and some gardeners find it a helpful pest deterrent when ringed around young fruit trees.

Nasturtium is easy to grow from seed. Nick or soak the seeds before sowing. Then direct sow into the garden or the final container in which they will grow, or start them indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last anticipated spring frost in your area. Expect germination to take a week or so. The Orchid Flame Nasturtium plants need full sun for best flowering; they will grow in part shade, but the blooms will not be as numerous or large.

Tropaeolum Majus

Nasturtium (Tropaeolum Majus Phoenix Mix) - It has taken us a few years, but we have finally added this very popular Phoenix nasturtium to our portfolio.  Instead of the usual rounded shape, the petals of every bloom on this flowering plant are divided into 3 to 4 points, like flames or fishtails.  The blooms arise in both bright and pastel shades and even some bicolors giving you the classic golds, oranges, and reds of nasturtiums as well as the less common creams, peaches, and salmons. And that's not all! Many petals even have a stroke of mahogany near the base.  The ivy-leaf foliage makes this the perfect plant for trellises or trailing from a hanging basket.  You might even want to test the vines out as a cutflower for draping arrangement material.

Not only are these nasturtium flowers beautiful, they are also profuse. They will begin blooming in early summer and continue clear until frost in most areas and will grow in a variety of habitats. Some nasturtiums are vining, others bushy, but Phoenix is both! You can let its stems trail from hanging baskets and flowerpots, or you can grow it vertically in beds and containers, where it will mound instead of spreading. Generally about 12 inches high if mounded and 14 inches wide, it will adjust a bit to fit the habit you choose for it—lower and more trailing in baskets, higher and more compact in beds.  If allowing to vine, you can expect it to reach up to six feet!

Nasturtiums are grown as a climbing vine, a flowering plant, and for its uses as an herb. The flowers and leaves are edible, making beautiful additions to salads and handsome garnishes on the plate. Nasturtium has a peppery bite not unlike watercress (one of its common names is Indian Cress), and is best used in savory dishes. Like all nasturtiums, Phoenix is a splendid companion to vegetables in the garden attracting beneficial bees to the garden and other insects.
