Seed Storage

Unique Facts About Seeds

  • Nasturtium seeds are relatively large and have a firm outer seed coat.
  • Tropaeolum majus belongs to the Tropaeolaceae family and originated in South America.
  • Nasturtiums are recognized for their rounded leaves and distinctive funnel-shaped flowers.
  • The flowers and leaves are traditionally grown as edible plants and have a peppery flavor.

Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Sow after the danger of frost has passed. In warm, frost-free regions, grow during a suitable mild season.

Sowing: Direct sow seeds into prepared garden soil because nasturtiums can be sensitive to root disturbance. Cover lightly with soil after sowing.

Depth & Spacing: Plant seeds about half an inch deep and leave approximately eight to twelve inches between plants for healthy growth.

Sunlight: Choose a location receiving full sun for stronger flowering. Plants can also tolerate partial shade, although flowering may be reduced.

Soil: Use loose, well-draining soil with moderate fertility. Avoid overly rich soil for better flower production.

Watering: Keep soil moderately moist during germination. Once established, water when the soil surface begins to dry and avoid waterlogged conditions.

Germination: Seeds commonly germinate within about one to two weeks when provided with suitable warmth, moisture, and growing conditions.

Transplanting: Direct sowing is preferred. If seedlings must be transplanted, handle them gently and minimize root disturbance.

Fertilizing: Heavy feeding is generally unnecessary. Excess fertilizer can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers.

Care: Keep weeds away from young plants and provide adequate space for air circulation. Remove spent flowers to encourage a neat appearance and continued blooming.

Flowering/Maturity: Plants generally begin flowering several weeks after sowing under favorable conditions. Flowering duration varies according to climate, sunlight, and plant care.
