Planting & Care

Sow Jewel Cherry Rose Nasturtium seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, planting about 1/2 inch deep and 12-18 inches apart. For earlier blooms, start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost in individual pots, as nasturtiums dislike root disturbance. Keep the soil consistently moist during germination, which typically takes 7-14 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings emerge, thin them to the recommended spacing.

Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid over-fertilizing, as rich soil encourages lush foliage at the expense of flowers. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering. Nasturtiums are generally pest-resistant and deer-resistant, making them a low-maintenance choice for gardeners of all levels.
