Planting & Care
Sow Strawberry Cream 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 biodegradable 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 drought-tolerant and generally do not require rich soil or heavy fertilization, which can encourage excessive foliage at the expense of flowers. Water regularly during dry spells, and mulch to retain moisture. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering. Enjoy the edible flowers and leaves as a colorful, peppery addition to salads.
