Growing Tips

  • Direct sow seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

  • Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil.
  • Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can produce abundant foliage with fewer flowers.
  • Provide support or room to trail for climbing or spreading varieties.
  • Harvest young leaves and flowers only when growing an edible variety intended for culinary use.

Seed Storage

Store unused seeds in a cool, dry, dark location. Keep them sealed in their original packet or an airtight container away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.

Important Growing Note

Nasturtium flower color can vary somewhat among seed-grown plants. Burgundy selections generally produce deep red to burgundy flowers, while exact shade may be influenced by genetics and growing conditions.

Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Sow outdoors in spring after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. In warm climates, sow during a suitable cooler growing period.

Sowing: Prepare loose, well-drained soil and sow seeds directly in the final growing location. Nasturtiums generally perform well when direct sown.

Depth: Plant seeds approximately ½–1 inch deep and cover lightly with soil.

Spacing: Space plants approximately 8–12 inches apart, allowing additional room for trailing varieties.

Sunlight: Provide full sun for strong flowering. Partial shade can be suitable in hot climates, although flowering may be reduced.

Soil: Use loose, moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid excessively rich soil, which can encourage foliage growth at the expense of flowers.

Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during germination and early growth. Once established, water when the upper soil begins to dry.

Germination: Seeds commonly germinate within approximately 7–14 days under favorable conditions. Temperature, moisture, and seed freshness can affect germination speed.

Thinning: Thin seedlings after emergence to provide sufficient room for healthy growth and airflow.

Fertilizing: Nasturtiums generally require little fertilizer in moderately fertile soil. Avoid excessive nitrogen.

Care: Keep weeds controlled around young plants and provide adequate space for spreading or trailing growth.

Flowering/Maturity: Plants generally begin flowering during the warmer growing season and may continue through fall under favorable conditions.

Deadheading: Remove faded flowers to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage continued flowering. Leave selected flowers to mature if collecting seeds.

Seed Collection: Allow mature seed pods to develop and dry on the plant. Collect fallen or dried seeds and store them properly.

Container Growing: Grow in containers with drainage holes and a well-drained potting mix. Trailing varieties are particularly attractive in hanging baskets.
