The velvety flowers stand out against the plant's rounded, bright green leaves, creating a striking contrast in beds, borders, and containers. These easygoing annuals are a favorite for cottage gardens, pollinator plantings, and edible flower gardens, and their trailing habit makes them well suited to spilling over the edges of pots and window boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNasturtiums are among the most approachable flowers for new gardeners. They grow quickly from seed, tolerate lean soil, and often self-sow where they are happy. Both the flowers and leaves are traditionally used as a peppery garnish, adding color and flavor to salads and plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep mahogany-red blooms with a velvety appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRounded, bright green leaves on a trailing, mounding plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-growing annual that blooms through the warm season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts pollinators and beneficial insects to the garden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlowers and leaves are traditionally used as an edible garnish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tropaeolum majus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual flower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Average to lean, well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep soil evenly moist but not soggy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trailing and mounding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer into fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 12 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow nasturtium seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, planting them about 1\/2 inch deep and 12 inches apart in a sunny to partly shaded spot. Nasturtiums germinate best in warm soil and typically sprout within one to two weeks. They can also be started indoors in individual pots a few weeks before transplanting, though they resent root disturbance, so handle seedlings gently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the soil evenly moist while seeds germinate and seedlings establish. Once growing, nasturtiums perform well with moderate watering and generally need little fertilizer; rich soil tends to produce abundant leaves at the expense of flowers. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, and allow a few seed pods to mature if you want the plants to self-sow for the following season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing includes 50 Mahogany Gleam Nasturtium seeds (Tropaeolum majus).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836011938102,"sku":"FOLIA2-1772","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7389697590_4ehp.jpg?v=1793097273","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/50-mahogany-gleam-nasturtium-seeds-tropaeolum-majus-deep-mahogany-red-blooms","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
