Canary Creeper, a cascading type of nasturtium, develops lengthy vines, ideally cultivated near a fence, trellis, or similar support structure. Its vibrant, cheerful yellow petals bear a striking resemblance to the wings of a canary bird, inspiring its name. Similar to other flowering nasturtiums, every part of the Canary Creeper plant, from flowers to seeds, leaves, and stems, is edible. Pluck them straight from the vine for a delightful treat or incorporate the leaves and flowers into salads. These flavorful plants, with their peppery taste, offer enjoyment throughout the summer season.

  • • Use early seeds as a substitute for capers
  • • Tolerant, fast-growing garden plant

    During our last growing season I purchased these and followed the growing directions with zero success. Not one seed sprouted. I will try once more this spring. Hopeful for success as I truly love the look of this plant

    With my first packet, I soaked the seeds as directed, placed them into seedling trays and had them on a heat mat, covered with a thin plastic to keep the humidity correct waited 28 days. Nothing kept the soil moist did everything didn’t over water. kept the heat mat exactly at 70 tried everything with a big fail. Ordered a second pack of seeds did the same soak, but this time added a teaspoon of Neptune’s planted the same way using my Vermont compost spraying the soil, so it wasn’t too moist but moist enough, keeping clingfilm over the top of the 4 x 4 pots no luck I desperately want this plant in my yard And cannot get these seeds to germinate.

    After soaking my seeds and planting as directed none of them germinated. Looked like a nice plant but no luck here.
