Unlike traditional nasturtiums where flowers hide beneath the foliage, Whirlybird’s spurless blooms face upward and outward — fully visible above the leaves, making the color display far more dramatic in the garden and in arrangements. A rich blend of five colors: scarlet, pale yellow, soft peach, gold tangerine, and cherry rose. Every part of this plant is edible — the flowers, leaves, and seeds — and the Whirlybird microgreen is exceptional: medium green leaves with maroon-rimmed wavy edges, pale pink stems, and a peppery bite with a hint of fruity sweetness. ~20 seeds per packet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Whirlybird Stands Apart\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost nasturtiums tuck their flowers under the canopy of leaves. Whirlybird was bred specifically to hold its blooms upright and outward — spurless flowers that face the viewer rather than hiding. The result is a more colorful, more visible display in the garden, in containers, and in cut flower arrangements. The five-color mix produces a range of warm tones that work beautifully together and separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Grow Whirlybird Mix?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpward-facing spurless blooms\u003c\/strong\u003e — flowers display above the foliage rather than hiding beneath it;
