NASTURTIUM - SPITFIRE, regular seeds - not treated and non-gmo
Nasturtium 'Spitfire' is a vigorous climbing annual adorned with bright orange to reddish flowers and lush round green leaves. This variety is perfect for covering pergolas, fences, and containers, adding vibrant color and energy to any garden.Growing Conditions:
Light: Prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade. More sunlight encourages abundant flowering.
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Too rich soil may reduce the number of flowers and promote excessive leaf growth.
Watering: Requires moderate watering. More drought-tolerant than moisture-loving.
Flowering period: From June until the first frost.
How to Grow:
Sowing: Direct sow seeds outdoors after the last frost or start indoors 2–3 weeks before the final spring frost.
Spacing: Leave 20–30 cm between plants to allow proper growth.
Support: Since 'Spitfire' is a climbing variety, it needs a trellis, netting, or other support structures.
Care: Fertilize sparingly, as excessive nutrients promote foliage growth over flowers. Deadheading spent blooms can extend the flowering period.
Benefits:
Attracts butterflies and pollinators.
Ideal as a climbing plant for gardens, balcony boxes, and hanging baskets.
Flowers and young leaves are edible, with a spicy, mustard-like flavor.
