Nasturtium

From a mixed packet, one nasturtium is forming  a nice neat mound with peachy pastel flowers. Will the seeds come true to type?
In London. Keen but lazy.

    Don't think so. Would be nice though. From a single normal orange-flowered nasturtium last year, I have loads of different ones this year.


    No peach though... sadly.

    Oh well. I'll have to see what appears next year. Some of them were a trifle sudden, but they're in pots so I can move them to somewhere that they're less likely to offend😒
    Thank you @WAMS

    I thought that was the whole point of nasturtiums!

    I suppose so but the pastel ones are nicer.

    They do tend to cross, so it just depends on how you feel about the different colours. I deadhead anything that offends me, so anything remotely 'peachy' would instantly get the heave ho.  ;)
    I've tied a string round one just now that I'll take seed from - it's a light/mid tangerine, with darker throat. It's also trailing nicely, so it'll do a trough or two I have.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
