Nasturtium Alaska Seeds

€4.00

Tropaeolum majus

Nasturtium Alaska is a cheerful, easy-to-grow annual with distinctive green-and-cream variegated leaves and bright edible flowers in warm shades of yellow, orange, and red. Every garden should grow nasturtiums - they attract beneficial insects like bees and ladybirds and are a brilliant companion plant in the vegetable patch, helping to draw pests away from crops.

The leaves, flowers, and young seed pods are all edible, with a peppery, watercress-like flavour. Perfect for pots, borders, or weaving through vegetable beds, nasturtiums thrive in poor soils and reward even the most hands-off gardeners.

Average number of seeds: 25

Open-pollinated, chemical-free seeds. Grown and saved in Wexford, Ireland. We only grow and save seeds from plants that were started from certified organic seeds.

Each seed packet includes growing tips and cooking suggestions inside.

  • Nasturtiums are very easy to grow and ideal for beginners. Sow seeds directly where they are to flower, or into pots using peat-free organic compost. Choose a sunny position and sow seeds about 2-3 cm deep. Water gently and keep soil just moist until germination.

    Nasturtiums prefer poorer soils and do best without feeding, which encourages more flowers. They are perfect for pots, borders, hanging baskets, or weaving through the vegetable patch as a companion plant.

    Sow: March to August

    Plant out: Not required if sown directly

    Harvesting time: May to November

  • Nasturtium leaves and flowers have a fresh, peppery flavour similar to watercress. Use the young leaves in salads, sandwiches, or as a garnish, and scatter the brightly coloured petals over summer dishes for both flavour and colour.

    The young green seed pods can also be pickled and used like capers - a traditional kitchen-garden trick that adds a sharp, savoury note to salads, pasta, and fish dishes.
