50 Dwarf Peach Melba Nasturtium Seeds | Tropaeolum majus Cream & Red Blooms
Dwarf Peach Melba Nasturtium is a compact, bushy annual prized for its unique cream and red bicolor blooms. The soft peach-cream petals are accented with deep red centers, creating a warm, vintage look that stands out in beds, borders, and containers. The rounded, lily-pad-like green leaves add texture and contrast, making this an attractive choice for garden edges, patio pots, and window boxes. Easy to grow from seed, it brings cheerful color and a light, trailing habit to small spaces.
Nasturtiums are also popular in edible flower gardens, as both the blooms and leaves are traditionally used as a peppery garnish. Dwarf Peach Melba stays compact, so it works well where larger nasturtiums might overwhelm neighboring plants.

Planting & Care
Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, or start indoors 2-4 weeks before transplanting. Plant seeds about 1/2 inch deep in moist, well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist during germination, which typically takes 7-14 days at 65-70°F. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing once they are a few inches tall.
Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Nasturtiums generally thrive in average soil; too much fertilizer can encourage leaf growth at the expense of blooms. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong flowering. In containers, use a well-draining potting mix and ensure good drainage.
