Nasturtium 'Ice Cream Sundae'

• Soak the seeds overnight before sowing to aid germination.
• Do not feed nasturtiums as this will encourage leafy growth rather than flowers.
• They do well on poor, hungry soils and can withstand fairly dry conditions.

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.

Please allow us 7-10 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
