Nasturtium 'Black Velvet' Carry Pack

Nasturtium Black Velvet delivers immense gothic drama, producing deep, velvety crimson-mahogany flowers that absorb the light and appear nearly black to the naked eye. Paired with dark green foliage that often carries subtle blue-green undertones, this semi-trailing variety cascades beautifully over container edges to create a moody, sophisticated aesthetic. It serves as an extraordinary accent plant when placed alongside crisp white blooms or bright silver foliage. To unlock the deepest, darkest pigmentation in the petals, you must position Black Velvet in absolute full sun; shading it will result in washed-out, muddy-looking reddish flowers. Keep the compost lean and well-drained, watering only when the pot feels noticeably light when lifted. Avoid rich soil mixes, as excessive nitrogen will force the plant to produce a heavy blanket of green leaves that completely swallows the dark blooms. Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.
