It's a variety that rewards you twice, once with a fast-growing display that will happily cover a fence, trellis or bank, and again in the kitchen, where every part of the plant, flowers, leaves and seeds, is edible with a pleasantly peppery, watercress-like bite.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat makes it one of the more useful plants you can tuck into a vegetable garden. Scatter the flowers over salads for colour and a peppery kick, toss the young leaves in with your greens, or pickle the seed pods as a homegrown substitute for capers. Nasturtiums are also a well-loved companion plant, often grown alongside brassicas and other vegetables to draw aphids away from your main crop and bring in beneficial insects.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeing an annual with a generous sowing window from September through to March, Kaleidoscope Mix is an easy one to fit in wherever you have a bare fence, bank or trellis that needs covering. It thrives in New Zealand's warmer months and asks for very little in return, making it a good choice if you want a fast, colourful, edible plant without much fuss.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Organic Nasturtium Kaleidoscope Mix\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDirect sow from September through to March. Nasturtiums germinate best at a soil temperature of 18–25°C and typically sprout in 7–14 days. Sow where the plants are to grow, as nasturtiums don't transplant well, giving them a fence, trellis or bank to climb. Plants reach 180–200cm and come into flower around 60–75 days from direct sowing. Nasturtiums generally do best in poorer soil, as overly rich ground tends to produce lush foliage at the expense of flowers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kings Seeds NZ","offers":[{"title":"15 seeds","offer_id":49220080206132,"sku":"O6132.pkt","price":6.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/0555\/6276\/files\/O6132-W.png?v=1785300395","url":"https:\/\/www.kingsseeds.co.nz\/products\/organic-nasturtium-kaleidoscope-mix","provider":"Kings Seeds NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
