Easy to grow

Sumptuous, glamorous, rich, almost-black nasturtium

Use as ground cover or in a container. It's good in salad and fantastic in smoked haddock fish cakes. Sow this in late spring for summer and autumn picking. It will lightly self-sow and will also attract white fly away from tomatoes and cucumbers.

On occasion we may need to send you an alternative variety to the one shown, which will be selected by our growing team to ensure its suitability. It will be of equal or greater value to the original. Please contact our customer service team if there are any problems.

Once established, nasturtiums need very little attention. If you feed them you will gain leaf at the expense of flowers, and too much watering will give the same result.
