FAQs

Are all parts of the plant edible?

Yes, the leaves, flowers, and unripe green seeds of the Nasturtium 'Orange Troika' are perfectly safe and culinary-friendly.

How large will each plant grow?

When fully established, a single plant can reach a height of 30cm and a spread of up to 100cm.

Can I sow these indoors?

Yes, you can sow indoors from March at 15-25C, but ensure you transplant them outdoors only after the last frost.

How deep should I sow the seeds?

Seeds should be sown at a depth of 20mm (approximately 3/4 inch).

When can I expect the first flowers?

Under normal growing conditions, you should see flowers appearing from June through to September.

Troubleshooting

Seeds failing to germinate

Ensure soil temperature is consistently warm and the area is not waterlogged. Check that seeds were not planted deeper than the recommended 20mm.

Plant looks leggy with few flowers

The plant likely needs more direct sunlight. Move the container to a brighter spot or ensure the area is not being shaded by taller plants.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile use in both containers and as groundcover
  • Edible flowers, leaves, and seeds
  • Highly decorative foliage
  • Easy to sow and cultivate
  • Provides long-lasting seasonal colour

Cons

  • Not frost-hardy
  • Requires full sun for best flowering results
  • Requires regular thinning when direct sown

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, sow seeds directly outdoors between March and May once the soil has warmed. Choose a site that receives full sun and ensure the soil is well-drained. If you live in a colder climate, start seeds indoors at 15-25C (59-77F) and transplant seedlings only after all risk of frost has passed.

Care Instructions

  • Spacing: Ensure plants are thinned to 30cm apart to allow for proper airflow and root development.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during hot, dry summer spells.
  • Protection: These plants do not tolerate frost; ensure they are kept in sheltered spots if a late cold snap is forecast.
