Thompson & Morgan Tropaeolum Majus Orchid Flame 1 Seed Packet

Thompson and Morgans innovative breeding program has created this spectacular new Nasturtium! Not only does it produce stunning flowers that look like exotic-coloured orchids, they also change colour during the growing season. Once in bloom, keep an eye on your flowers and watch them change before your eyes. They emerge red with yellow splashes, then the yellow markings creep outwards along the petals to create unusual patterns until the flower is completely yellow! The final colour is weather dependent, but you will have no flower looking the same! Great for an eye-catching feature that will create a fascinating talking point.Sow outdoors where they are to flower. Before sowing, prepare the ground well by raking until the soil is fine and crumbly and remove any large stones. Sow 20mm (3/4") deep, in rows 30cm (12") apart, or scatter seed in beds or borders as a gap filler and lightly cover over.Thin out the plants when the seedlings are large enough to handle, to about 23cm (9") apart
