Tips to Grow Nasturtium

  1. Arrange good quality Nasturtium seed.
  2. The soil should be Well-drained, moist soil.
  3. Sow the seeds about half an inch deep and 10 to 12 inches apart in the garden.
  4. Plants should appear in 7 to 10 days.
  5. Plant nasturtiums in full sun (6–8 hours of sunlight) for the best results. They will grow in partial shade (3–6 hours of sunlight), but won’t bloom as well.
  6. Be conscious of the growing habit of the type of nasturtium you’re growing. Plan to provide supports for trailing types.
  7. Cutting off the faded/dead flowers will prolong blooming.
  8. Leaves and flowers can be harvested at any time.
  9. Seedpods should be harvested before seeds have had a chance to mature and harden.
