Planting & Care

Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, planting about ½ inch deep and 12–18 inches apart. Keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7–14 days at temperatures around 65–70°F. For earlier blooms, start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost and transplant seedlings after hardening off.

Once established, water regularly but avoid overwatering, as nasturtiums prefer slightly dry conditions. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Fertilize sparingly—too much nitrogen promotes leaf growth at the expense of flowers. Harvest edible flowers and leaves as needed for fresh use.
