How to Prune Garden nasturtium?
(Tropaeolum majus)
Garden nasturtium, also known as Climbing nasturtium, Monks cress
Known for its bright flowers and shield-shaped leaves, garden nasturtium can be pruned to encourage bushier growth and enhance flowering. Prune back overgrown stems and faded flowers regularly. Pinch off the growing tips for a more compact form. Optimal pruning occurs in early spring before flowering and can continue as needed until late fall. Pruning stimulates new growth and may prolong the blooming period, which is particularly beneficial in temperate climates.
