Why Grow Nasturtiums?

Edible garden interest: Harvested flowers offer a mildly spicy flavor, while leaves have a peppery bite. Use them as a garnish or addition to salads when grown under food-safe conditions.
Distinctive foliage: Rounded, shield-shaped leaves bring an attractive contrast to finer garden foliage.
Different growth habits: Compact and trailing selections suit different spaces. Check the listing before choosing plants for pots, hanging baskets or spreading garden displays.

Tips for Growing Nasturtiums

Choose a sunny site with well-drained soil and follow the seed packet's directions for planting time, sowing depth and spacing. Direct sowing can help avoid disturbing young roots. Plant outdoors after frost danger has passed and conditions are suitable.

Keep the seedbed appropriately moist during germination and water young plants as needed while they establish. Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers. Monitor containers closely for watering needs and provide room for trailing varieties to spread.

Remove faded flowers to help maintain a tidy display, or allow some seed pods to mature if you want to encourage self-sowing. Flowering depends on the selection, weather and growing conditions.

Harvesting for the Kitchen

Harvest fresh flowers and tender leaves from correctly identified nasturtium plants grown for eating. Use only plant material that has not been treated with products unsuitable for edible crops, and rinse before serving. The planting seeds sold here are for growing plants, not for direct consumption.
