Tropaeolum lobbianum is commonly referred to as Nasturtium. This variety, Yeti, has blooms that are a rare shade of creamy white. It's breathtaking sight to see it climbing up a trellis or arbor! Nasturtium grow quickly and have blooms from summer through fall. It is a climbing vine, so be prepared to give it a structure to climb as soon as it's a few inches in height. Nasturtium seed is large and it has a hard seed coat. It requires a 24 hour soak in water or to file the seed gently to break the coat open. Nasturtium does not always transplant well, so many gardeners start the seed directly outdoors in spring. Prepare a seedbed by loosening and weeding the soil. Keep seed moist until germination. With a temperature of 68F, germination normally occurs within 10 days. Space the plants 8 - 12 inches apart. Grow in full sun and in well-drained soil. Nasturtium is usually resistant to deer.
