Growing Tips

  • Soak the large seeds in water for several hours before planting to help soften the seed coat.
  • Choose a sunny location with loose, well-drained soil.
  • Avoid excessive fertilizer, as rich soil can encourage foliage over flowers.
  • Provide support if growing a climbing or trailing type near a trellis.

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 belongs to the Tropaeolaceae family and is native to South America.
  • The rounded leaves have a distinctive shield-like shape and can add unusual texture to garden displays.
  • Nasturtium flowers are known for their vibrant colors and long, projecting nectar spurs.
  • Depending on the variety, nasturtiums may grow as compact plants, trailers, or climbers.

Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Sow directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Nasturtiums dislike cold, wet conditions.

Sowing: Prepare loose, well-drained soil and plant the large seeds directly where they are to grow. Nasturtiums generally prefer direct sowing because their 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, adjusting for the growth habit of the specific variety.

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

Soil: Use moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid overly rich soil, which can encourage excessive leaf growth.

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 affect germination time.

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

Fertilizing: Heavy feeding is usually unnecessary. Excess fertilizer, particularly nitrogen, can promote foliage at the expense of flowers.

Care: Keep young plants weed-free and provide support for climbing types. Remove faded flowers when desired to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage continued flowering.

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