{"title":"Nasturtium Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eNasturtiums are cheerful, easygoing annuals that bring a burst of warm colour and a playful, trailing habit to garden beds, containers, and even hanging baskets. Their round, lily pad–like leaves and vibrant blooms in shades of orange, red, and buttery yellow create a relaxed, cottage-garden vibe that feels both charming and productive. One of the best parts? Both the flowers and leaves are edible, with a peppery flavour that adds a little zing to salads and garnishes. Nasturtiums thrive in full sun and actually prefer poorer soils—too much fertilizer means lots of leaves and fewer blooms—making them wonderfully low-maintenance. They’re also known to attract pollinators while helping draw aphids away from more precious crops, which makes them a handy companion plant in vegetable gardens. Fast-growing and generous with their blooms from early summer until frost, nasturtiums are a simple, satisfying choice for gardeners who want big impact with very little fuss.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"nasturtium-whirlybird-mixture","title":"Nasturtium Seeds - Whirlybird Mix","description":"\u003cp\u003e~25 Seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNasturtiums Seeds  – Whirlybird Mix\u003cbr\u003e(\u003cem\u003eTropaeolum majus\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking to add a little whimsy to your garden? \u003cem\u003eWhirlybird Mix\u003c\/em\u003e nasturtiums are a delightful blend of bright, cheerful colours that’ll bring instant charm to beds, borders, and containers.
