Whirlybird has no spur, so its flowers face the sun and stand out above the foliage – making the whole plant look much more floriferous. It also has a semi-double form: the additional petals give the flowers a fuller, more substantial appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mixture has been selected to provide a complete warm colour palette – from cream through lemon yellow and orange to deep mahogany. The plants are compact and rounded, do not produce long shoots and spread evenly, making Whirlybird one of the most reliable nasturtiums for pots and borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eGrowing step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eSowing (April, under cover):\u003c\/strong\u003e sow the seeds individually in 8–9 cm pots, 1.5–2 cm deep, at 18–20°C. Germination takes 10–14 days. Do not keep the seedlings under cover for too long – they grow quickly and can easily become leggy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eThinning:\u003c\/strong\u003e when sowing outdoors, place 2–3 seeds in each spot and, after germination, leave the strongest plant. Seedlings grown in pots do not require pricking out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eSowing outdoors (mid-May):\u003c\/strong\u003e after the last frosts, sow directly in the final position, 2 cm deep, spacing the plants 25 × 30 cm apart. Two to three plants will fit in a 60 cm-long window box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e water moderately; the soil may dry out between waterings. Do not fertilise – in rich soil, nasturtiums produce leaves rather than flowers. It is worth removing faded flowers, as a plant that sets seed slows down flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe best nasturtium \u003cstrong\u003efor window boxes, pots and hanging baskets\u003c\/strong\u003e, where its upward-facing flowers can be seen from every side.
