Sow Alaska Apricot Nasturtium seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, or start them indoors 4–6 weeks before transplanting. Plant seeds about ½ inch deep in well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist during germination, which typically takes 7–14 days. Once seedlings emerge, thin them to the recommended spacing to encourage healthy growth.

Nasturtiums thrive in full sun but appreciate some afternoon shade in hot climates. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering as they prefer well-drained conditions. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming, and harvest edible flowers and leaves as needed for fresh use.
