Feature

Enjoy showy flowers that are also tasty with the Kaleidoscope Mix Nasturtium or Tropaeolum majus. Trumpet-shaped flowers in bright red, orange, yellow, and white shades feature dark accents near the eye. The blooms stand out against the pale green foliage. Both the flowers and leaves are edible and add a peppery taste to salads and drinks. The flowers bloom from spring through early summer.

Kaleidoscope Mix Nasturtium Care  

Plant Nasturtium in full sun. This plant needs at least 6 hours of sunlight to bloom well. Nasturtium prefers a neutral, well-drained soil of average fertility. Highly fertile soils cause Nasturtium to produce more leaves and fewer flowers. Nasturtium plants are low maintenance, and deadheading is not necessary.

Growing Kaleidoscope Mix Nasturtium 

Nasturtium can grow outside after there is no longer a chance of frost. These plants do well in gardens, flower beds, and containers. Mature plants reach 12 to 14 inches tall and wide. Space plants 12 inches apart when creating a row or mass planting. These plants work as a filler in a container, and 2 to 3 plants can live in a 12-inch pot.

Watering Kaleidoscope Mix Nasturtium 

Once established, these plants are somewhat drought tolerant, but plants that routinely dry out may produce fewer flowers. Nasturtium plants grown as annuals need water weekly. Plants in a container or a sunny vegetable patch will need water when the top inch of soil is dry.

Feeding Kaleidoscope Mix Nasturtium 

The Kaleidoscope Mix Nasturtium does not need fertilizer. Increased nutritional content will cause the plants to produce more leaves at the expense of flowers. Nasturtium can live and thrive in medium-quality soil.
