How to Plant Nasturtium

  • These plants are well suited to pots, beds and borders in full sun or partial shade.
  • You can happily dot these in and around veg or other flowers, or in a single patch.
  • Plant 20cm apart

How to Grow Nasturtium

  • Keep them watered during dry spells, other than that they are fairly self-sufficient
  • You can cut them back quite hard during the growing season and they will grow back well.
  • Plant near brassicas to use as a sacrificial crop – hopefully cabbage whites will lay their eggs on the nasturtiums rather than on your brassicas. We’d still recommend netting your brassicas though, just in case!

How to Harvest Nasturtium

  • Harvest flowers in the morning (when they are just opening, rather than in the evening when they are closing again)
  • You can add both flowers and leaves to salads and other dishes
