Planting & Care

Sow Salmon Gleam Nasturtium seeds directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds about 1/2 inch deep and 12-18 inches apart in well-drained soil. For earlier blooms, start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. Keep the soil consistently moist during germination and until seedlings are established. Once plants are growing, water regularly but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Nasturtiums thrive in full sun but appreciate some afternoon shade in hot climates. They generally do not require heavy fertilization; too much nitrogen can promote leaf growth at the expense of flowers. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering.
