HOW TO PLANT
NASTURTIUM SEEDS
ABOUT
NASTURTIUM
- Beautiful and beneficial, Nasturtiums are often planted as companions to vegetables as they can help to repel harmful pests.
- Not only do Nasturtiums produce gorgeous blooms- the blooms are also edible and have a peppery, almost mustard-like taste.
WHEN
TO PLANT NASTURTIUM SEEDS
- Sow seeds outdoors after all danger of frost has passed or indoors 4-6 weeks prior to the last spring frost date.
WHERE
TO PLANT NASTURTIUM SEEDS
- Nasturtiums perform best in full sun, in average, slightly acidic, well-drained soils.
- Light shade is tolerated in hot summer areas. Nasturtiums do better in soil of moderate to low fertility.
HOW
TO PLANT NASTURTIUM SEEDS
- Be sure to scarify (nick the outer shell) and soak your Nasturtium seeds overnight (about 12 hours) to help seedlings break through the tough outer shell.
- Sow seeds about 1/2" deep and 10-12" apart in the garden if direct sowing.
- If starting indoors, transplant after seedlings emerge, after 7-10 days, and space as you would if direct sowing.
HOW
TO CARE FOR NASTURTIUM
- Water regularly throughout the growing season, but be careful not to overwater.
- Deadhead your plants to prolong blooming.
- If maintaining your nasturtiums in containers, they'll need to be trimmed back occasionally to promote new foliage.
- Leaves and flowers can be harvested anytime, using scissors to avoid damaging the plants.
