I am known for growing delphiniums in pots on our deck. It was an exciting development this summer when, in the lull between delphinium spikes (June and then again in September), I let a few nasturtium seedlings grow and thrive in my delphinium pot. The cage was there to support the blue spikes, but they became handy to guide the trailing nasturtium.
Look at the this magnificent Moonlight (pale yellow) climbing nasturtium. The stem was thick like a pencil and I occasionally arched it toward the cage and held it with a simple tie until it could send out a shoot to wrap around it.
I will make sure to pair these plants again because it was wonderful. I'm posting now so that you can add these seeds to your shopping plan.
