Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. In mild climates, planting can be timed for cooler growing periods.

Sowing: Direct sowing is recommended because nasturtiums can be sensitive to root disturbance. Sow seeds about one-half inch deep and space them about eight to twelve inches apart.

Sunlight: Plant in full sun for abundant flowering. Partial shade can be tolerated, particularly where summers are hot.

Soil: Select loose, well-drained soil with moderate fertility. Avoid overly rich soil because excessive fertility may encourage foliage rather than flowers.

Watering: Keep soil lightly moist during germination. After plants establish, water moderately and avoid keeping the soil constantly wet.

Germination: Seeds typically emerge within about seven to fourteen days when provided with suitable warmth, moisture, and planting conditions.

Transplanting: Direct sowing is preferred. If transplanting is required, move young seedlings carefully while disturbing the roots as little as possible.

Fertilizing: Nasturtiums generally require minimal feeding. Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer, which can promote leafy growth and reduce flowering.

Care: Allow sufficient room for spreading stems and maintain good air circulation. Remove faded flowers and damaged foliage when necessary.

Flowering/Maturity: Flowers generally begin appearing about eight to twelve weeks after sowing and can continue throughout favorable growing conditions.
