Growing Directions
- When to plant: Sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Nasturtiums dislike root disturbance, so direct sowing is often preferred.
- Sunlight: Plant in full sun to partial shade. More sun generally supports heavier flowering where summers are not excessively hot.
- Soil: Use well-drained soil with moderate fertility. Overly rich soil can produce abundant leaves with fewer flowers.
- Sowing depth: Plant seeds about ½–1 inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist until seedlings emerge.
- Spacing: Thin or space plants about 8–12 inches apart to allow airflow and room for the compact habit to develop.
- Watering: Water regularly while plants establish, then allow the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid saturated soil.
- Fertilizing: Use light fertility only when needed. Excess nitrogen can encourage foliage at the expense of blooms.
- Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to keep plants tidy and encourage continued bloom, or leave some flowers to develop seed.
- Container care: Use a container with drainage and avoid oversized pots that stay wet for too long.
