The MayFord Nasturtium Gem (Dwarf) is a drought-resistant and pest-deterrent plant, appreciated for its edible flowers and lush foliage. It is best sown directly into well-drained soil, ensuring a spacing of 20–30 cm between plants,and requires only occasional watering for optimal growth.
Seedlings should be thinned out at 10 cm intervals, allowing ample space for bushy, full development. Pressing down the soil after sowing enhances root establishment, while consistent moisture helps promote early flowering.
Flowering occurs approximately 80 days after planting, producing vibrant orange, yellow, and red blossoms. Nasturtiums grow best in nutrient-poor soil, as excessive fertilization can lead to excess foliage at the expense of flowers.
