Planting & Care

Sow Moonlight 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 established, nasturtiums are relatively low-maintenance. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid over-fertilizing, as rich soil promotes lush foliage at the expense of flowers. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In containers, ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.
