The flowers rise above rounded, lily-pad-like green leaves, creating a cheerful display in garden beds, borders, and containers. This easy-to-grow annual is also well suited to edible landscaping, as both the flowers and leaves are commonly used as a garnish.

Planting & Care
Sow Cherrelle Nasturtium seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, planting about 1/2 inch deep and 12-18 inches apart. Nasturtiums prefer well-drained soil and can be started indoors 2-4 weeks before transplanting, though they generally perform best when direct-sown. Keep the soil consistently moist during germination, which typically takes 7-14 days at 65-70°F.
Once established, water regularly but avoid over-fertilizing, as rich soil encourages lush leaf growth at the expense of flowers. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering. Nasturtiums are relatively pest-resistant and low-maintenance, making them a rewarding choice for beginner gardeners.
