Nasturtium 'Ice Cream Sundae'

Beautiful five-petalled blooms and playful, eye-catching bicolours of red and yellow ensure this flower really stands out from the crowds.

The majestic and incredibly unique flowers grow with a compact nature, with variable bright scarlet markings etched on bold, yellow-based flowers – grow a plethora and be amazed as no two beauties will be the same!

Not just a beauty for colour, the plant also grows healthy foliage for months, providing an excellent backdrop for the colourful show, as well as ground coverage.

Nasturtium are well-known for being loved by bees and butterflies, so are an excellent choice for boosting pollination. They also attract hoverflies, which pray on aphids, so are a perfect partner for brassicas, pumpkins, radishes, tomatoes, potatoes, and even roses, as they help to deal with those pesky pests.

This versatile variety is an excellent choice for all manner of garden scenarios, including for growing in beds, borders, pots, and containers.

Care Guide

How to grow Nasturtium

• Nasturtiums thrive in sandy, well-drained soil in a sunny position.
• Plant directly into compost in containers, baskets or window boxes. Water well until young plants fully establish.
• Keep moist. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 30cm apart, or into containers, baskets or window boxes, when frosts are over.
• Keep well-watered but allow the soil to dry out in between watering.
• Allow foliage to die back after the flowering season is over as this will add valuable nutrients to the soil.
