How to Grow
Start nasturtium Gleam Fields seeds indoors in pots from late February to April for an earlier display, or sow directly outdoors after the last frost in April to June. They prefer full sun and well-drained, poorer soils where they can trail or climb depending on support provided.
Sowing
Sow nasturtium Gleam Fields seeds directly into well-drained soil 2cm deep between April and June, or start them indoors from late February to April. This timing ensures optimal germination and growth in the UK climate.
Growing
Provide a sunny spot with support such as a wigwam or balcony rail to accommodate their climbing habit, as they can grow up to 1m tall with a 0.3m spread. When grown in containers, use pots at least 30cm in size to allow adequate space for trailing stems.
Plant care
Water nasturtium Gleam Fields regularly during dry spells to maintain healthy growth, avoiding rich composts which encourage leaf over flower. Pick flowers often to promote continuous blooming and trim back long, tangled stems mid-summer to refresh growth and maintain shape.
About Nasturtium 'Gleam Fields'
Nasturtium ‘Gleam Fields’ is a vigorous, trailing variety producing masses of warm-toned flowers and lush round leaves. Exceptionally easy to grow, it thrives in poor soil and sunny spots, making it ideal for borders, containers, and tumbling over edges. Both the flowers and leaves are edible, adding a fresh, peppery flavour to salads while also attracting pollinators to the garden.
