Nasturtium (Tropaeolum Majus nanum Mahogany Jewel) 30 seeds (#1493)

An annual plant, 30-40 cm high, vigorously bushing with a spherical shape.
Attractive due to the original, semi-double mahogany flowers. Blooms profusely from July until the first frost.
Effective in beds, borders, mixed plantings, rock gardens, herb gardens, edgings over walls or as annual ground covers on slopes or other sunny areas. They are also effective in containers, including hanging baskets.
Grow in poor to average, slightly acidic, well-drained soils in full sun. Plants have some tolerance for dry soils.
Best performance occurs in cool summer areas. Some part afternoon shade is appreciated in hot summer areas where plants will be stressed by prolonged stretches of high temperatures.
