LITTLE VEGGIE PATCH CO: Edible Flowers | Nasturtium

Blooming through the spring and summer months, it has a mix of brightly coloured, semi-double flowers. Not only a great companion plant, attracting bees and trapping snails, this is the ultimate root to bloom with every part of the plant being edible. Consistently self seeds.

Soil: Nasturtiums thrive in most soil types but prefer a well drained soil that is prepared with compost. Fertilising the plants excessively will put on mostly vegetative growth and flower development will be low, so feed your plants moderately.

Soil pH Level: 6.5-7.5

Position: Prefer part shade.  

How to Plant: For faster germination soak seeds overnight in water and then plant directly into the veggie patch. Keep watered until germination. Plants have a tendency to burn in direct afternoon sunlight, so morning sunlight is preferable.

Spacing: 40cm - 60cm

Depth: 2cm - 4cm

Companion Plants: Nasturtiums are a great companion that can be planting amongst all edibles and under fruit trees.

Approximate no. of seeds: 25

Note: Seeds are sourced locally and in small batches to ensure they remain at their maximum viability for germination.
