Description
The Whirlybird Cherry Rose Nasturtium, also known as Tropaeolum majus, is a vigorous annual that quickly forms a wide carpet. Its edible flowers are semi-double and spurless. They proudly emerge above abundant medium green foliage and display a beautiful intense pink, leaning towards cherry red.
It has a compact habit, 30 cm (12in) tall by 30 cm (12in) wide, it is very easy to grow, and you can associate it with more classic varieties or with other annuals like Maryland Zinnia.
Originally from South America, the Nasturtium has pretty flowers in bold colours, ranging from yellow to red, and beautiful round leaves that are always fresh.
The Nasturtium has everything to please: it is easy to sow, grows quickly, flowers from June to the first frost, spreads widely to cover the ground, creates a flowery border, or takes over your trellises. It also grows very well in pots on balconies and patios.
All parts are edible: the leaves and flowers in salads, as well as the seeds, pickled in vinegar like capers. Granted, it attracts aphids that are fond of it. However, do not deprive yourself of this lovely plant: in the vegetable garden and orchard, it is an advantage as it diverts attention (while hosting valuable food for ladybug larvae) and thus protects your crops.

Planting and care
Sow Nasturtium seeds directly outdoors, in their final location, from March to May. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil that has been well-prepared beforehand. Sow the Nasturtium seeds to a depth of 2cm (1in) in rows spaced 30cm (12in) apart, covering the seeds with soil equal to their size. Regularly water the soil, especially during dry periods. Germination usually takes 7 to 12 days.
When the young plants are large enough to handle, thin them out to leave one plant every 30cm (12in). You can also sow Nasturtiums indoors at a temperature of 15-25°C (59-77°F). Once the Nasturtium plants are big enough to handle, transplant them and grow them in cooler conditions until they reach a sufficient size to be planted outdoors. This should be done after all risk of frost has passed.
Nasturtiums prefer a moist, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. They are often attacked by aphids and cabbage white butterflies. Spraying a compound solution of traditional black soap and water (4 to 5 cc / 1 l of water) will help limit the damage in case of a severe aphid infestation.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
