Nasturtium Gleam Hybrids Seeds

Nasturtium Gleam Hybrids Seeds – Irish Plants Direct

 

A vibrant trailing variety known for its abundant semi double blooms and cascading habit that brings colour and movement to summer displays.

 

This classic nasturtium mix produces a lively blend of red, orange, yellow, and gold flowers that stand out beautifully against rich green foliage.

 

Gleam Hybrids is valued for its vigorous, free flowering nature and its ability to spill gracefully from baskets, containers, raised beds, and low walls.

 

The semi double flowers add extra fullness and texture, while the edible petals and leaves offer a peppery flavour ideal for salads and garnishes.

 

The plants attract bees and beneficial insects, making them a useful addition to wildlife friendly gardens.

 

This variety thrives in sunny positions with well drained soil and performs reliably even in poorer soils. It requires very little maintenance and flowers continuously from early summer until the first frosts. Its trailing habit makes it perfect for hanging baskets, window boxes, and mixed container plantings.

Sowing Instructions

Indoors:

Sow from March to April in small pots filled with moist seed compost. Cover lightly and maintain a temperature of 15–18°C. Grow on in bright conditions and harden off before planting outdoors after the last frost.

 

Outdoors:

Sow from April to May in prepared soil once temperatures have warmed. Plant seeds 2 cm deep and water well. Avoid over fertilising, as this encourages leaf growth at the expense of flowers.

Nasturtium Gleam Hybrids rewards gardeners with cascading colour, edible blooms, and effortless summer charm.
