Sowing:
- Direct sow outdoors: Sow directly into prepared soil from late April to early June, after the last frost has passed.
- Spacing: Sow seeds 15cm apart and thin seedlings to 30cm apart when established.
- Support: Provide a trellis, fence, or other structure for climbing vines.
Growing Needs:
- Sunlight: Full sun for optimal growth and flowering.
- Soil: Well-drained soil enriched with compost.
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering.
- Feeding: Feed with a general-purpose fertiliser every few weeks during flowering (optional).
Harvesting & Enjoying:
- Pick flowers and leaves regularly: Harvest young blooms and leaves throughout the season to encourage further growth.
- Culinary inspiration: Use your harvest in salads, sandwiches, or as a unique garnish.
- Drying: Dry leaves for later use as seasoning.
Bonus Tips:
- Seed Saving: Allow some seed heads to mature and dry on the plant after flowering. Collect the seeds when they turn brown and store them in a cool, dry place for sowing next year or allow to self seed for next year.
- Companion planting: Plant nasturtiums alongside vegetables to deter pests naturally.
- Enjoy the show: Sit back and admire the vibrant blooms climbing high while supporting your local pollinators!
