Nasturtiums are fabulous. Not only bright, cheerful and beautiful with their sunny faces and gorgeous trailing vines but also a marvellous companion plant. Plant them near French and runner beans to help lure aphids away.

They are also highly attractive to all sorts of pollinators and to top it all off the flowers and leaves are edible and can be used to add a peppery addition to salads, on pasta or as a garnish.

They will flower for you all summer long and give a fantastic ground cover of orange and yellow beauty. Honestly, you'll not find a more giving flower to grow.

Plant Care Tips

Top tips include...they need full sun and well-drained soil. Plus no need to feed them as this will encourage more foliage than flowers.

Sow indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost, then harden off and plant out
If sowing indoors keep at around 18 degrees to allow for germination
Otherwise, sow directly once all risk of frost has passed
Sow 1cm deep and keep moist
They like full sun and well-drained, sandy soil
Do not feed as this encourages more foliage than flowers
