50 Orange Gleam Nasturtium Seeds – Bright Blooms, Easy to Grow

Orange Gleam Nasturtium is a vibrant, easy-to-grow annual known for its bright orange blooms and rounded, lily-pad-like leaves. This variety brings a cheerful, cottage-garden feel to beds, borders, and containers, and its trailing habit makes it a favorite for hanging baskets and ground cover. The edible flowers and leaves add a peppery kick to salads, making it as useful as it is ornamental.

Planting & Care

Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost, about 1/2 inch deep and 12–18 inches apart. Nasturtiums prefer poor soil; avoid over-fertilizing, which encourages leaf growth at the expense of flowers. Keep the soil evenly moist during germination, which typically takes 7–14 days. For earlier blooms, start seeds indoors 2–4 weeks before the last frost in biodegradable pots, as nasturtiums dislike root disturbance.

Once established, water regularly during dry spells and mulch to retain moisture. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming. Nasturtiums are relatively pest-free and can be grown alongside vegetables as a trap crop.
