1935 AAS Gold Medal Winner with bright scarlet blooms and a semi-trailing habit adds fragrance and color to hanging baskets, window boxes, containers, or when spilling over a low wall. Makes a good ground cover in beds and does well on a trellis or fence. Prefers not to be fertilized. Rich moist soils produce lovely foliage but few blooms. The edible peppery tasting flowers and leaves can be used in salads and sandwiches.
Easy to grow. Prefers poor, dry soil. It is recommended to directly sow seeds outdoors in spring when the soil has warmed and danger of frost is past. Plant seed into the garden in an area that gets at least 6 hours of sun each day. Nasturtium seedlings do not transplant well, but can be started indoors in plantable peat pots and transplanted into the garden taking care not to disturb the roots. Blooms in 50-60 days.
