The flowers open as soft creamy-white with bold, deep raspberry-red markings radiating from the centre — striking and beautiful in their own right. But the real magic happens as the flowers age: gradually, the whole flower deepens to match those vivid central markings, transforming into a warm raspberry-red. The result is a plant that puts on an ever-changing display, with flowers at every stage of this beautiful colour journey all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Gardeners Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌸 \u003cstrong\u003eStunning colour transformation\u003c\/strong\u003e — opens creamy-white with bold raspberry-red centre markings, then ages to raspberry-red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌱 \u003cstrong\u003eEdible flowers and leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e — both have a peppery flavour, wonderful in salads and as a colourful garnish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🐝 \u003cstrong\u003eExcellent pollinator plant\u003c\/strong\u003e — a magnet for bees and butterflies throughout summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌿 \u003cstrong\u003eEasy to sow\u003c\/strong\u003e — large seeds are simple to handle and germinate quickly and reliably\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🎨 \u003cstrong\u003eEver-changing display\u003c\/strong\u003e — flowers at every stage of the colour journey on the plant at once, always something to admire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🩴 \u003cstrong\u003eCompact mounding habit\u003c\/strong\u003e — bushy and tidy, ideal for pots, borders, and hanging baskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Tips for New Zealand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNasturtiums are one of the easiest plants to grow from seed. Sow direct into the garden after the last frost, or start in small pots and transplant. They prefer a sunny position and actually perform best in poor to average soil — too rich a soil produces lush foliage at the expense of flowers. Water regularly but allow to dry between waterings. Orchid Cream will flower prolifically from early summer through to autumn, and the more you pick the flowers, the more they produce. Seeds can be saved at the end of the season for next year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Packet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach packet contains \u003cstrong\u003e5 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e of Nasturtium Orchid Cream (\u003cem\u003eTropaeolum majus\u003c\/em\u003e 'Orchid Cream'), with growing instructions included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chbotanics Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45052015280197,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/2974\/5733\/files\/NASTUTIUMORCHIDCREAM.jpg?v=1779764144","url":"https:\/\/chbotanics.co.nz\/products\/nasturtium-seeds-tropaeolum-majus-orchid-cream","provider":"Chbotanics Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
