Unlike trailing nasturtiums, this bushy form remains neat and compact, making it ideal for garden borders, containers, hanging baskets and vegetable gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe attractive cream and green marbled leaves provide ornamental interest even before flowering begins. Both the flowers and leaves are edible, adding a peppery flavour to salads, sandwiches and garnishes. Nasturtiums are also valued as companion plants, attracting pollinators and beneficial insects while helping to draw aphids away from nearby vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEasy to grow and tolerant of poor soils, Alaska Mix performs best when not overfed, as excessive fertility encourages foliage growth at the expense of flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 8 seeds per gram\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 25 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: April to August\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: March to September\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: March to October\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: September to January\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow seed directly into the garden 10–15 mm deep in a sunny to partly shaded position. Seeds germinate best when the soil is kept evenly moist. Space plants 25–30 cm apart. Nasturtiums prefer well-drained soil and generally flower more prolifically in soils that are not overly rich. Harvest flowers and leaves regularly to encourage continued blooming throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDue to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":46375865549018,"sku":"prefix_681c1f725f0a47.32630520","price":3.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20g","offer_id":46375865581786,"sku":"prefix_681c1f725f0a95.86708371","price":9.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/F_Nasturtium_Alaska.jpg?v=1784850043","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/nasturtium-alaska-mix-1023","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
