T&M own breeding. At last! Variegated climbing Nasturtiums. Available in a balanced mixture of yellows, reds, creams and peach/pinks with foliage which is attractively marbled and striped with cream, against a light green background. They make fantastic, dramatic container and basket plants or simply use them for effective ground cover. They also look good trailing and climbing over conifers, hedges and short walls. Flowers summer. Climber. Please Note: Occasionally some plants produce pure green foliage, many but not all will develop variegation at a later stage.
Sowing Instructions. Sow outdoors in spring where they are to flower, when the ground becomes workable covering the seed to a depth of 20mm (¾in).
For earlier flowering or for containers, sow in early spring at 13-16C (55-60F) and transplant into 7.5cm (3in) pots.
Growing Instructions. Thin out young plants to 30-45cm (12-18in) apart when the seedlings are large enough to handle. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions before planting out after all risk of frost. They flower most freely in full sun and poor dryish soils. Before planting in containers make sure they are well rooted in their pots.
