Planting & Care

To grow Moonlight Nasturtium from seed, sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds about 1/2 inch deep in well-drained soil, spacing them 12-18 inches apart. For best results, soak seeds in water for 24 hours before sowing to soften the hard seed coat. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Once seedlings are established, water regularly but avoid overwatering, as nasturtiums prefer slightly dry conditions.

These plants require minimal care. They thrive in full sun to partial shade and generally do not need fertilizer; in fact, rich soil may encourage more foliage at the expense of flowers. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest flowers and leaves regularly to encourage continued blooming. Nasturtiums are relatively pest-free and are a great choice for organic gardens.
