This variety of Tropaeolum majus brings a bold splash of color to garden beds, borders, and containers, and its trailing habit makes it an excellent choice for hanging baskets and spilling over walls. The vibrant flowers are also edible, adding a peppery kick to salads and garnishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEasy to grow from seed, Vesuvius Nasturtium thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates a range of soil types, though it performs best in well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Its fast growth and cascading form quickly fill in bare spots, making it a favorite for cottage gardens and pollinator-friendly landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFiery red-orange flowers that stand out against lush green foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrailing growth habit, ideal for containers and hanging baskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdible flowers and leaves with a peppery flavor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-maintenance annual that blooms throughout the season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tropaeolum majus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, moderately fertile soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep soil evenly moist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer to fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-18 inches (trailing stems can reach 36 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-18 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow Vesuvius Nasturtium seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, planting about 1\/2 inch deep and 12-18 inches apart. For earlier blooms, start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Keep the soil consistently moist during germination, which typically takes 7-14 days at 65-70°F. Once seedlings emerge, thin them to the recommended spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering as nasturtiums prefer slightly dry conditions once established. Fertilize sparingly; too much nitrogen encourages leaf growth at the expense of flowers. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering. Harvest edible flowers and leaves as needed for culinary use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 Vesuvius Nasturtium seeds (Tropaeolum majus).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836011086134,"sku":"FOLIA2-1757","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7438186961_pnxf.jpg?v=1793097246","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/50-vesuvius-nasturtium-seeds-tropaeolum-majus-fiery-red-orange-blooms-trailing-annual","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
