Try them in pots, full of a very sandy mix. The golden rule with
naturtiums is to treat them rough - they thrive in dry, VERY poor
soils. Fertilise them only if you want leaves for salads.


I can't get rid of mine. There's always one somewhere! I find them best
in hanging basket. Also the place of the OP looks to be in the shade.
Mine thrive in full sun.
