50 Phoenix Nasturtium Seeds - Tropaeolum majus Frilled Red-Orange Blooms Climbing Annual

Phoenix Nasturtium is a distinctive climbing annual prized for its frilled, red-orange blooms that rise above rounded green leaves. Tropaeolum majus 'Phoenix' brings a bold, tropical look to garden beds, borders, and containers, and its vining habit makes it a natural choice for trellises, fences, and hanging baskets. The bright flowers contrast beautifully with the foliage and appear over a long season, adding lively color to summer gardens.

Easy to grow from seed, nasturtiums are a favorite for beginner and experienced gardeners alike. The plants are fast-growing and adaptable, thriving in sunny spots with moderate moisture. Their trailing stems can be allowed to cascade or trained upward for vertical interest. Phoenix Nasturtium is also a useful companion plant in vegetable gardens and attracts pollinators to the landscape.

Planting & Care

Sow Phoenix Nasturtium seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, planting about 1/2 inch deep and 12-18 inches apart. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist during germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days at around 65-70°F. For earlier blooms, start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost in biodegradable pots, as nasturtiums dislike root disturbance.

Once established, water regularly during dry spells and mulch to retain moisture. Provide a trellis or support for climbing stems, or allow plants to trail over walls and containers. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Nasturtiums generally prefer moderate fertility; overly rich soil may produce more foliage than flowers.
