Tropaeolum majus
FLOWER-NASTURTIUM-TRAILING MIX is perfect for those gardeners beginning their flower adventure because these are just so easy to grow. A brilliant mix of reds, yellows, and oranges look wonderful cascading from hanging baskets and over garden edges
Sow outdoors in baskets or pots. Thin out young plants when the seedlings are large enough to handle. They flower most freely in full sun & poor dryish soils. I line my baskets, over the top of the coir and underneath the soil, with a cut out to size garbage bag – this is so the soil doesn’t lose moisture after watering.

ABSeeds is an Australian owned business trading under the umbrella of Direct Compost Solutions which is owned and managed by Victoria Brun.
We as a company endeavor to provide to the public, Organic, Old Fashioned, Heritage, and Open-pollinated seeds that have not been genetically modified.
We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.
Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
