For earlier blooms, start seeds indoors 2–4 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, nasturtiums are relatively drought-tolerant but perform best with regular watering. They thrive in poor to average soil; overly 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. In containers, use a well-draining potting mix and ensure adequate drainage to prevent root rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 Tropaeolum majus 'Purple Emperor' seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836010627382,"sku":"FOLIA2-1745","price":42.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6719399278_iumu.jpg?v=1793097229","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/purple-emperor-nasturtium-seeds-50-tropaeolum-majus-deep-burgundy-blooms-for-garden-containers","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
