50 Yeti Nasturtium Seeds - White Trailing Annual for Gardens & Containers
Yeti Nasturtium is a distinctive variety of Tropaeolum majus prized for its creamy white blooms and trailing growth habit. This annual produces abundant flowers that stand out against rounded, lily-pad-like green leaves, adding a soft, elegant touch to garden beds, borders, and containers. The trailing stems make it an excellent choice for spilling over the edges of pots, window boxes, or hanging baskets, and it can also be allowed to scramble along the ground or through low plantings.
Easy to grow from seed, Yeti Nasturtium is a rewarding choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners. The plants are fast-growing and begin blooming in summer, continuing until frost. The flowers are edible and can be used as a colorful garnish, while the leaves offer a peppery flavor. Whether you are looking for a pollinator-friendly annual or a quick-growing filler for bare spots, this nasturtium delivers reliable performance with minimal fuss.

Planting & Care
Sow Yeti Nasturtium seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, as nasturtiums dislike root disturbance and transplanting. Plant seeds about 1/2 inch deep in well-drained soil, spacing them 12-18 inches apart. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days at temperatures around 65-70°F. For earlier blooms, start seeds indoors in biodegradable pots 2-4 weeks before the last frost and transplant carefully without disturbing the roots.
Once established, nasturtiums are relatively low-maintenance. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid over-fertilizing, as rich soil encourages lush foliage at the expense of flowers. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering, and harvest edible flowers and leaves as needed. In containers, ensure proper drainage and monitor moisture more closely, as potting mix dries out faster than garden soil.
