This mix produces semi-double flowers in shades of yellow, orange, and red, held above rounded, bright green leaves. Its dwarf, mounding habit makes it an excellent choice for borders, edging, window boxes, and patio pots. The edible flowers and leaves add a peppery kick to salads, and the plant is known to attract pollinators and beneficial insects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEasy to grow from seed, nasturtiums thrive in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.

Plant seeds about 1\/2 inch deep and 12-18 inches apart in well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination. For earlier blooms, start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date, but note that nasturtiums often resent transplanting, so handle seedlings carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, water regularly during dry spells. Avoid over-fertilizing, as rich soil promotes lush foliage at the expense of flowers. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering.
