Planting & Care

Sow Alaska Gold 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. Germination typically occurs in 7-14 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C). Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once established, nasturtiums are relatively drought-tolerant and generally do not require fertilizer; rich soil may produce more foliage at the expense of flowers.

Water regularly during dry spells, and mulch to retain moisture. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Harvest edible flowers and leaves as needed for culinary use. Nasturtiums are generally pest-resistant and are a good companion plant in vegetable gardens.
