Creamy, almost bright white flowers, perfect to light up the garden! The flowers almost glow when planted in front of dark leaved plants.
Climbing/trailing variety, easy to grow, even on poor soil.
Culinary information: The peppery flavour of the leaves and colourful flowers will enrich salads and the unripe seeds can used like capers – delicious combined with cream cheese or butter in canapés.
Growing Information
Sow directly into moist, warm, weed-free soil where they are to flower at a depth of 13mm (½"). (Germination 7-14 days). As the seedlings develop, thin to 25cm (10") spacings. Alternatively, seeds can be started off ¾ per 7.5cm pot and kept on a sunny windowsill until the last frost has passed.
Sowing Information
Sow the seed thinly direct into finely raked, moist, warm, weed free soil where the plants are to flower 13mm (1?2") deep. Germination normally takes 10-14 days. As the seedlings develop, thin to achieve a final spacing of 25cm (10"). Use any spare plants to fill the spaces in the bed. Alternatively, for earlier plants sow on a windowsill or in a greenhouse at approx. 13-18°C (55-66°F) 3 or 4 seeds to a 7.5cm (3") pot. Plant out after acclimatising to outside conditions.
