Growing Tips

  • Soak large seeds in water for several hours before planting to help soften the seed coat.
  • Sow directly in loose, well-drained soil once the danger of frost has passed.
  • Avoid overly rich soil and excessive fertilizer, which can encourage foliage over flowers.
  • Provide a trellis or support for climbing varieties as they grow.

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.

Unique Facts About Seeds

  • Nasturtium is scientifically known as Tropaeolum majus and belongs to the Tropaeolaceae family.
  • Its rounded leaves have a distinctive shield-like shape and are carried on long leaf stalks.
  • Nasturtiums can grow as compact plants, trailing vines, or climbers depending on the variety.
  • The flowers have a characteristic nectar spur extending behind each bloom.

Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Sow directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed.

Sowing: Prepare loose, well-drained soil and plant the large seeds directly where they will grow. Direct sowing is generally preferred because the roots can be sensitive to disturbance.

Depth: Sow approximately one-half to one inch deep and cover gently with soil.

Spacing: Space seeds approximately eight to twelve inches apart, allowing additional room for trailing varieties.

Sunlight: Provide full sun for abundant flowering. Partial shade is tolerated but may produce more foliage and fewer flowers.

Soil: Choose moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid overly rich soil.

Watering: Water regularly during germination and early growth. Once established, allow the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings.

Germination: Seeds commonly germinate within approximately seven to fourteen days under favorable conditions. Temperature, moisture, and seed condition can influence timing.

Transplanting: Direct sowing is recommended. If starting indoors, use individual containers and transplant carefully after the danger of frost has passed.

Fertilizing: Heavy feeding is usually unnecessary. Excess nitrogen can encourage foliage growth instead of flowers.

Care: Keep plants weed-free and provide support for climbing types. Remove faded flowers when desired to encourage a neat appearance.

Flowering/Maturity: Nasturtiums generally begin flowering during late spring or early summer and can continue blooming throughout the growing season when temperatures remain suitable.
