Tropaeolum Majus 'Whirlybird Orange'

Still going strong! #orange nasturtium despite our first frost last night

Mine are still going strong too 💪🏽

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Different colour from saved seeds last year! They are growing like triffids this year! 🌼🌼🌼

Underrated plant. Always grow it each year!

They are such good fillers and I love them sprawling on the lawn! @kyleleonard also I've but them in brassicas to attract the bugs away hopefully!

Aphids love them, only bad thing about them really!

Kinda of don't mind some of them taking one for Team Brassica! @kyleleonard

Suppose it's a good idea to attract it away from the more prized possessions! Whenever I trim Nasturtium away from the grass border I end up covered in aphids

Oh I know disgusting isn't it! @kyleleonard - So far I've got through the season aphid free... Despite checking constantly.. it must be the wet weather! But I know they will arrive and I'll be throwing soapy water at everything!

Yep! My Jasmine is covered, well not as much now but white flies. Looks a smidge better then aphids as you can't notice it as much

@carolecuttingitfine My nasturtium is growing explosively, is there any particular way a nasturtium should be pruned or trained? I have seen one trained up a cane and I'm doing this but should I prune the growth lower down? It's my first time growing these 🌺🌺

@zylo I usually just leave mine to scramble away no need to do anything 😊

@katgreen I thought I'd do that too but mine is spreading so much it's threatening to block my cucumbers from getting any sunlight! It does have lovely orange blooms like this one thiugh

@katgreen @carolecuttingitfine I have heard Nasturtiums are edible. Do you eat any part of your nasturtiums? If yes, how?

Love this colour
