Strawberries and cream, only in a flower bed. Strawberry Cream is a low-growing, bushy nasturtium with cream and pale yellow flowers marked and speckled with strawberry red. This delicate palette sets it apart from the usually vivid nasturtiums, while its edible flowers and leaves make it both an ornament and a snack. It grows from seed to flower in less than two months.
Most nasturtiums play with fiery colours. Strawberry Cream opts for pastels: cream, vanilla and pale yellow petals with irregular red spots near the throat, as if someone had crushed a strawberry on them. Each flower is slightly different, and the overall effect is subtle and modern – it combines well with white, pink and burgundy plants, with which the classic orange of nasturtiums usually clashes.
This variety has a compact, rounded habit and does not produce long stems, so it stays neatly in a pot and does not overwhelm its neighbours. Flowers appear continuously from July until the first frosts.
Sowing (April, under cover): sow the large seeds individually in 8–9 cm pots at a depth of 1.5–2 cm, at a temperature of 18–20°C. Germination takes 10–14 days. It is worth soaking the seeds overnight in lukewarm water – they will then germinate more evenly.
Thinning: when sowing directly in the ground, sow 2–3 seeds per spot and, after emergence, leave the one strongest seedling. Seedlings raised in pots do not require pricking out.
Direct sowing (mid-May): after the frosts have passed, sow directly in the permanent position at a depth of 2 cm, spacing the plants 25 × 30 cm apart. Transplant seedlings raised under cover at the same time, taking care to keep the entire root ball intact.
Care: water moderately, and every 2–3 days in hot weather when growing in containers. Do not fertilise with nitrogen – excess nutrients produce leaves instead of flowers. Regularly removing faded flowers and developing seeds extends flowering.
Ideal for window boxes, pots and flower-bed edges, and also as a low ground cover between perennials. The light-coloured flowers look beautiful in salads and on desserts – nasturtium has a peppery, slightly spicy flavour, and its cream petals look prettier on the plate than orange ones. In the vegetable garden, it acts as a trap crop for aphids and attracts pollinators.
Dwarf nasturtium grows very well in shallow containers, but in hot summer weather a pot dries out quickly, and a plant stressed by drought is immediately covered with aphids. If you notice curling leaves, wash off the aphids with a strong stream of water and water thoroughly – after a week, the nasturtium will produce healthy shoots.
