Growing Tips

  • Soak seeds briefly before planting to help soften their firm outer coating.
  • Direct sow after frost when the soil has warmed sufficiently.
  • Select well-drained soil and avoid areas that remain consistently wet.
  • Avoid excessive fertilizer because rich soil can encourage foliage over flowers.

Seed Storage

Store unused seeds in a cool, dry, dark location. Keep them inside an airtight container protected from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. Label the container with the variety and storage date.

Unique Facts About Seeds

Growing Instructions

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

Sowing: Direct sowing is preferred because nasturtiums generally do not appreciate extensive root disturbance. Prepare loose, well-drained soil before planting.

Depth: Sow seeds about half an inch deep and cover lightly with soil.

Spacing: Place seeds or seedlings about ten to twelve inches apart to provide adequate growing room.

Sunlight: Grow in full sun for abundant flowering. Partial shade can be useful in areas with intense summer heat.

Soil: Choose loose, well-drained soil with moderate fertility. Avoid overly rich soil, which may encourage excessive leafy growth.

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

Germination: Seeds usually germinate within seven to fourteen days when provided with suitable moisture and growing temperatures.

Transplanting: Direct sowing is recommended. If starting indoors, transplant young seedlings carefully to reduce root disturbance.

Fertilizing: Use fertilizer sparingly. Excessive nitrogen can promote foliage growth and reduce flower production.

Care: Remove damaged foliage and faded flowers as needed. Allow trailing stems to spread or provide suitable support if guiding the plant upward.

Flowering/Maturity: Nasturtiums generally begin flowering within about eight to twelve weeks after sowing, depending on climate and growing conditions.
