Benefits

• Aesthetic Appeal: Nasturtiums bring vivid color and beauty to gardens, borders, containers, and hanging baskets.
• Pollinator Attraction: These flowers attract beneficial pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, supporting a healthy garden ecosystem.
• Natural Pest Control: Nasturtiums can act as a trap crop, drawing aphids away from other plants and protecting your garden.

Planting Instructions

1. Timing: Sow nasturtium seeds directly in the garden after the last frost date, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost.
2. Soil Preparation: These plants prefer well-drained soil and can thrive in poor soil conditions. No need for rich soil; they actually bloom better in leaner soil.
3. Sowing: Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep, spacing them 10-12 inches apart. Nasturtiums can also be grown in containers or hanging baskets.
4. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist during the germination period. Once established, they are relatively drought-tolerant and require minimal watering.
5. Germination: Expect seeds to germinate in 7-14 days under optimal conditions.

Growing and Care

• Sunlight: Nasturtiums thrive in full sun to partial shade. Ensure they receive at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal blooming.
• Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering. Nasturtiums prefer slightly dry conditions once established.
• Fertilizing: Avoid heavy fertilization as it can lead to excessive leaf growth with fewer flowers. A light application of a balanced fertilizer once a month is sufficient.
• Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming throughout the growing season.

Harvesting

• Flowers: Pick flowers as they open for the freshest taste and best appearance in culinary uses.
• Leaves: Harvest young leaves for a milder flavor and older leaves for a spicier taste. Both can be used fresh in salads or as garnishes.
