Too much nitrogen produces leaf growth at the expense of flowers. Sow direct from March, pushing seeds 2 to 3 cm deep and spacing 25 to 30 cm apart. For a longer flowering display, sow in small batches every three weeks through to June rather than all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApprox. 40 seeds per pack\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSowing Time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMarch to June\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSummer to early autumn\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnnual trailing flower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCreeping \/ trailing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePosition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWell-drained, lighter soils preferred\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Spacing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25–30 cm apart\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSow 2–3 cm deep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Code\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDBF 340\/2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Franchi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53748843512154,"sku":"DBF340\/2","price":2.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/1886\/5991\/products\/nesturzio_rampicante__21381.1569252147.jpg?v=1616936092","url":"https:\/\/www.greensofireland.ie\/products\/nasturtium-rampicante-seeds","provider":"Greens of Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
