Nasturtium Seeds for Sale – Non-GMO Heirloom

and leaves, nasturtiums are among the easiest plants for beginners and kids to grow, and among the most rewarding. Who it's for A perfect first flower for families. The large seeds are easy for little hands to plant, they sprout quickly, and both the flowers and leaves are edible, turning a simple garden project into a tasty lesson kids actually enjoy. Why you'll love growing it Nasturtiums thrive on neglect. In fact, lean soil gives you more flowers. They bloom fast and abundantly in warm shades of orange, red, and gold, spilling over containers or climbing a trellis, and they do double duty: they draw pollinators and act as a natural aphid "trap crop" that helps protect your veggies. How & when to plant Sow your nasturtium seeds directly, about ½ inch deep, in full sun after the last frost, spacing them 8 to 12 inches apart. They dislike root disturbance, so sow them where they will grow. Seeds usually germinate in 7 to 14 days. For trailing versus bush types and full care, see our complete Nasturtium growing guide . Growing & care Keep it simple. Water while young, then let nasturtiums do their thing in lean soil that drains well, and skip the fertilizer, which gives you leaves at the expense of flowers. Give climbing types a trellis or let them trail from a pot or hanging basket, and pinch spent blooms now and then to keep the flowers coming. Bloom & care Nasturtiums flower from summer into fall, brightening borders, containers, and edible gardens. Deadhead to prolong flowering, and let a few go to seed if you would like to collect and resow next year.
