Nasturtium 'Whirlybird' is a remarkable variety with bright, non-drooping flowers , offering a palette of vivid colours ranging from red to yellow, orange and apricot. Unlike classic nasturtiums, its petals remain wide open and turned upwards , creating a luminous effect in beds, borders and planters .
Easy to grow, it grows quickly and adapts well both in the ground and in pots , with soft green foliage that contrasts beautifully with its warm-toned flowers. Honey-producing and edible , this nasturtium attracts pollinators while offering a decorative and gourmet touch to salads and summer dishes.
