How to Grow
Sow Nasturtium ‘Gleam Fields’ seeds in well-drained soil after the last frost. They prefer full sun and can climb or trail depending on support.
Sowing
Sow Nasturtium ‘Gleam Fields’ directly where you want them to grow. They prefer poorer soils, so skip the fertiliser. Plant each seed 2cm deep in April–June, or start indoors in pots from late March for an earlier display.
Growing
Give them a sunny spot and space to trail or climb. Provide a wigwam, fence or balcony rail if you want height; otherwise let stems spill freely from pots and planters. Water regularly in dry spells, but avoid rich composts as this encourages leaf over flower.
Plant care
Pick flowers often to keep new blooms forming. Trim back long, tangled stems mid-summer to refresh growth. If aphids appear, let nature handle it — nasturtiums act as a sacrificial plant, drawing pests away from vegetables.
