These beloved giant Nasturtiums ramble over fences, climb up shrubs, sprawl over rocks, and cascade from baskets and windowboxes in the sunny garden, wafting a wonderful aroma that evokes the bygone days of Grandmother's cottage garden. Park's Fragrant Giants is a unique mix of large-bloomed, colorful flowers on very vigorous vines.
This is a trailing vine which can be trained to grow upwards on a support or allowed to loll over the sides of containers and across the garden floor. Park's Fragrant Giants is a mix of the very best large garden Nasturtiums, with 2½-inch blooms of red, orange, yellow, and cream. Both the flowers and the foliage is edible, and releases a peppery aroma that's quite enticing. Use them to decorate salads and as garnishes on the plate -- or simply enjoy them as the garden beauties they are!
Best flowering is from early summer right up to frost, especially in cooler summer climates or in part shade farther south and west. Nasturtiums are attractive to pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds, so they make splendid companions to vegetables and herbs. And they are an aphid trap plant: if you have a valuable plant that is being attacked by aphids, surround it with Nasturtiums and the aphids will leave it alone (though the Nasturtiums will suffer!). This plant is an invaluable pest repellant in any setting.
Direct-sow the seeds in well-drained soil, even poorly fertile areas, and do NOT overfertilize. (You will get plenty of leaves but fewer flowers in enriched soil!) Park's Fragrant Giants grow rapidly and easily, filling garden or container with brilliant color in no time! Pkt is 50 seeds.
VA vigorous annual for use as a ground cover in beds, as edging, and for summer screening. It also works well trailing over the sides of containers and walls. Plants can be of two forms: trailing and climbing to 8 feet or compact and bushy to 12 inches. The 2- 21/2 inch flowers are funnel-shaped with a spur in the back. Where happy, they will flower from late spring through to frost. Petal arrangement is either single or double in colors of yellow, orange, red, salmon, and apricot. The pale green, 2-7 inch diameter, round leaves are supported by petioles in their centers. Both leaves and flowers are used to add a peppery flavor to salads

First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
