Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A plush looking double-flowered nasturtium with full gathered petals in a rich orange-scarlet hue, bloom all summer to frost. Double forms of nasturtium were imported to England from Italy around 1769. Showcase this beauty in pots, and take cuttings if you desire, as they do not set seed.

Intense red flowers that are fully double & frilly. ‘Hermine Grashof’ is a very old cultivar, popular in Victorian times. But the double Nasturtiums are now very much in demand again & this unusual red flower color is especially nice. The stems of this variety are trailing but compact, great for handing baskets. Grows about 3-4’ wide & 1-1/2-2’ tall. Prefers well-drained soil.
