It belongs to the <strong>Jewel<\/strong> <strong>series<\/strong>, a group of <strong>dwarf nasturtiums<\/strong> selected for compactness, <strong>early flowering<\/strong>, and color uniformity \u2014 varieties that priorities a clean, controlled habit over the sprawling vigor of <strong>trailing types<\/strong>. Within the Jewel series, Cherry Rose is the warm-pink representative, occupying a distinct color position in the nasturtium palette that sits between the <strong>deep reds<\/strong> and the <strong>soft creams<\/strong> \u2014 a pure, <strong>glowing cherry rose<\/strong> that carries both warmth and luminosity simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>The variety has been reselected for compactness, early flowering, and color uniformity \u2014 <strong>three breeding<\/strong> objectives that together produce a plant of exceptional garden reliability. Reselection in an open-pollinated variety involves repeated cycles of selecting only the most uniform, true-to-type individuals for seed production, progressively concentrating the desired characteristics within the population. The result in Jewel Cherry Rose is a nasturtium where the <strong>cherry-rose color<\/strong>, <strong>compact habit<\/strong>, and <strong>early flowering<\/strong> onset are expressed with considerably more consistency than in an unselected open-pollinated population \u2014 approaching the predictability of a hybrid while retaining open-pollinated seed-saving viability.<\/p>\n<p>The flowers of Jewel Cherry Rose are held above the foliage \u2014 a characteristic that distinguishes it from standard nasturtium varieties where blooms sit at or below the leaf canopy. In the compact dwarf habit of Tropaeolum minus, the upward-facing flower position means the cherry-rose color registers with maximum visual impact against the plain green foliage background. The flowers carry a sweet, spicy scent alongside the characteristic nasturtium peppery fragrance \u2014 an aromatic quality that adds sensory value to container plantings and border edges where the planting is encountered at close range.<\/p>\n<p>As a <strong>cut flower<\/strong>, Jewel Cherry Rose performs with the <strong>stem length and flower quality that supports floral design use<\/strong> \u2014 the glowing cherry-coral tone mixing with considerable versatility across warm-toned arrangements. The upward-facing bloom orientation means flowers present naturally without manipulation in arrangements, and the <strong>vase life of 7 to 10 days<\/strong> is reliable for a nasturtium variety.<\/p>\n<h3>Variety Details<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Botanical Name: <strong>Tropaeolum minus<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Series: <strong>Jewel<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Variety: <strong>Jewel Cherry Rose<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Seed Type: <strong>Open-pollinated \u2014 reselected for compactness, early flowering, and color uniformity<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Plant Type: <strong>Hardy annual<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Family: <strong>Tropaeolaceae<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Habit: <strong>Compact dwarf mounding \u2014 non-trailing, non-climbing, top-flowering<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Flower Form: <strong>Single, open-faced, upward-facing \u2014 5\u20136 cm diameter<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Flower Color: <strong>Saturated cherry rose \u2014 uniform across plants; a small percentage may produce off-type colors<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Foliage: <strong>Rounded, parasol-like \u2014 plain mid-green, no variegation<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Edible: <strong>Flowers, leaves, and unripe seed pods<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Uses: <strong>Bedding, border edging, containers, hanging baskets, cut flower, edible flower, companion planting, seed saving<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Germination: <strong>7\u201314 days at 13\u201318\u00b0C<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Key Features<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Reselected open-pollinated Tropaeolum minus \u2014 compactness, early flowering, and color uniformity bred into the population<\/li>\n<li>Single saturated cherry-rose color \u2014 uniform, high-visibility warm pink across the planting<\/li>\n<li>Top-flowering, upward-facing habit \u2014 blooms held clearly above foliage for maximum color impact<\/li>\n<li>Compact dwarf mounding habit 25\u201330 cm \u2014 non-trailing, self-contained, ideal for containers and border edging<\/li>\n<li>Sweet, spicy floral scent \u2014 aromatic quality adds sensory value at close range<\/li>\n<li>Cut flower performance \u2014 stem length and 7\u201310-day vase life suitable for floral design<\/li>\n<li>Fully edible \u2014 flowers, leaves, and unripe seeds with characteristic peppery nasturtium flavor<\/li>\n<li>Direct sowing strongly preferred \u2014 resents root disturbance<\/li>\n<li>Poor soil preferred \u2014 fertilizing reduces flowering<\/li>\n<li>Outstanding pollinator and beneficial insect value<\/li>\n<li>Darkness required for germination \u2014 seeds must be fully covered<\/li>\n<li>Fast germination: 7\u201314 days at 13\u201318\u00b0C<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Plant Information<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Height: <strong>25\u201330 cm<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Spread: <strong>25\u201330 cm<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Plant Type: <strong>Hardy annual<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Habit: <strong>Compact dwarf mounding \u2014 non-trailing, non-climbing, top-flowering, upward-facing blooms<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Flower Form: <strong>Single, open-faced, upward-facing \u2014 5\u20136 cm diameter<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Flower Color: <strong>Saturated cherry rose \u2014 uniform; small percentage may produce off-type colour<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Foliage: <strong>Rounded, parasol-like \u2014 plain mid-green, no variegation<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Scent: <strong>Sweet, spicy floral with peppery undertone<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Edible: <strong>Flowers, leaves, and unripe seeds<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Germination Instructions<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Direct sowing is strongly preferred \u2014 nasturtiums resent root disturbance and perform best when sown in their final position.<\/li>\n<li>Sow seeds 1\u20132 cm deep directly into moist, well-drained soil.<\/li>\n<li>Seeds require darkness for germination \u2014 ensure full soil coverage.<\/li>\n<li>Nick the seed coat lightly and soak in warm water for 12\u201324 hours before sowing to soften the tough outer coat and improve germination speed.<\/li>\n<li>Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.<\/li>\n<li>Germination occurs within 7\u201314 days at a soil temperature of 13\u201318\u00b0C.

Do not fertilize \u2014 rich soil or any fertilizing produces lush foliage growth at the direct expense of flower production.<\/li>\n<li>The compact dwarf habit of Jewel Cherry Rose means the plant is naturally self-contained and does not require staking or support, but the upward-facing flowers benefit from a position where they receive unobstructed light from above to maintain their upright orientation and color intensity.<\/li>\n<li>Water consistently but avoid waterlogging \u2014 nasturtiums are drought-tolerant once established but perform best with regular moisture during the flowering season.<\/li>\n<li>Deadhead spent flowers regularly to extend the blooming season and maintain the clean, uniform appearance that reselected Jewel series varieties are capable of sustaining.<\/li>\n<li>Leave some seed pods to mature at the end of the season for self-seeding and seed saving. The unripe green seed pods can be pickled as a caper substitute before the seed coat hardens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Gulf Planting Season<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Direct sowing outdoors: <strong>October to November<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Peak flowering season: <strong>December to March<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><strong>Note<\/strong>:<\/span> Jewel Cherry Rose occupies a distinct color position in the nasturtium collection \u2014 the only variety delivering a pure, uniform cherry-rose tone across the planting.<\/li>\n<li>Where Bloody Mary explores the full crimson-to-cream spectrum through open-pollinated natural variation, and Sahin&#8217;s Paso Doble pairs dark red and cream in a deliberate formula bicolor, Jewel Cherry Rose concentrates the warm-pink register into a single cohesive color statement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Companion Planting<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Jewel Cherry Rose carries the full companion planting value of the Tropaeolum genus.<\/li>\n<li>It acts as a trap crop for aphids, drawing the insects preferentially to nasturtium foliage and away from neighboring vegetables.<\/li>\n<li>It deters whitefly and attracts beneficial predatory insects that contribute to natural pest management across the kitchen garden.<\/li>\n<li>The compact dwarf habit of Jewel Cherry Rose makes it particularly suited to close border planting alongside vegetables \u2014 its contained footprint allows it to provide companion plant benefits without competing with or overrunning adjacent crops.<\/li>\n<li>Ideal companions include tomatoes, cucumbers, brassicas, melons, and radishes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Garden &amp; Culinary Uses<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Jewel Cherry Rose is suited to bedding, border edging, container planting, hanging baskets, cut flower production, and edible flower use.<\/li>\n<li>In the garden, the uniform cherry-rose color of the reselected Jewel series delivers a more controlled, design-conscious appearance than the spontaneous color variation of open-pollinated mixes such as Bloody Mary \u2014 a planting of Jewel Cherry Rose presents as a cohesive block of warm pink that anchors color schemes with precision.<\/li>\n<li>Planted alongside Bloody Mary, the solid cherry-rose uniformity of Jewel Cherry Rose provides the structural color definition that Bloody Mary&#8217;s natural variation cannot \u2014 the two varieties complement each other in a combined planting where Jewel Cherry Rose sets the dominant tone and Bloody Mary introduces movement and complexity within the same warm-pink register.<\/li>\n<li>As a cut flower, the upward-facing blooms and sufficient stem length of Jewel Cherry Rose support floral design use \u2014 the glowing cherry-coral tone combining with exceptional versatility across warm seasonal arrangements.<\/li>\n<li>The sweet, spicy floral scent adds value in close-range applications such as table arrangements and edible garnishes.<\/li>\n<li>As an edible flower, the uniform cherry-rose petals present with striking consistency on the plate \u2014 the saturated color reading with intensity against white and pale food backgrounds.<\/li>\n<li>Flowers, leaves, and unripe seed pods are all edible with the characteristic peppery nasturtium flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nasturtium Jewel Cherry Rose is a reselected, compact, early, and uniform Tropaeolum minus delivering a single, saturated cherry-rose flower color with outstanding consistency across the planting.
