Title: Nasturtium 'Black Velvet'
Post by: Georgie on July 08, 2006, 20:03:59
I'm trying this for the first time this year.  It's in a pot and gets a fair amount of sun (but not all day).  I have to say I'm rather disappointed as I expected it to be much darker.  Has anyone else had better luck?  G x

Yes mine was more of a deep and darker colour but has finished flowering. The last flower is a deeper red than yours but the previous ones were very  dark purple like on the packet.
