How to Germinate Nasturtium Jewel Mix

How to Germinate Nasturtium Jewel Mix (Tropaeolum majus)

  • Sow Nasturtium Jewel Mix seeds directly outdoors in late spring after the danger of frost has passed.
  • If starting indoors, plant seeds 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost date.
  • Soak seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and improve germination.
  • Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep in well-draining soil, spacing them 8-12 inches apart.
  • Maintain a soil temperature of 55-65°F (13-18°C) for optimal germination, which typically takes 7-10 days.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, but avoid waterlogging.

Additional Tips

  • Nasturtium prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates.
  • Water regularly, keeping the soil moderately moist, but avoid overwatering as nasturtiums prefer slightly dry conditions.
  • Avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizers, as this can lead to more foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
  • Apply mulch around the plants to retain moisture and control weeds.
  • Nasturtium flowers and leaves are edible, adding a peppery flavor to salads and garnishes.
