Nasturtium Gleam Hybrids Climbing

Nasturtium Climbing Gleam Hybrids is a vibrant flower mix that produces masses of semi-double blooms in warm shades of orange, yellow, and red. This variety has a trailing and climbing habit, making it a great choice for hanging baskets, patio containers, raised planters, fences, and sunny borders.

These easy-to-grow annuals are valued not only for their bright display, but also for their versatility in the garden. The flowers and leaves are edible and have a mild peppery flavour, making them a colourful addition to salads and garnishes.

This variety performs best in poorer soils, where it will focus more on flowering rather than leafy growth. It can be left to trail naturally or lightly supported to climb.
