Nasturtium ‘Gleam Salmon’
Tropaeolum majus
Description
After years of hunting for a great trailing variety of nasturtium in peach and pastel color palettes, I finally discovered the elusive ‘Gleam Salmon’. This rambling annual vine is loaded with a profusion of creamy salmon-peach blossoms all summer long. Not only are the blooms an incredible addition to bouquets, but the foliage also lasts an extremely long time in the vase, adding interest and movement to large-scale arrangements.
Details
Height: 5 to 6 ft
Site: full sun
Days to maturity: 60 to 70 days
Plant spacing: 24 to 36 in
Pinch: not necessary
Seed Sowing & Growing Notes
Start seed indoors in pots 4 to 6 weeks before last frost; transplant out after all danger of frost has passed. Nasturtiums are very sensitive to cold; wait until the weather has warmed to transplant out. Provide a strong trellis or support for vines to climb.
