Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Nasturtium Alaska Mix grows well in poor to average well-draining soil and does not require fertilizers. Overly rich soil will lead to more foliage and fewer flowers. They are drought-tolerant but perform best with consistent watering.
When to Grow
Nasturtiums should be planted outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, as they are frost-sensitive. Consult your local area’s last frost date to determine when to plant. Seeds can also be sown indoors 4 weeks before the last frost date, though direct sowing is often preferred due to their sensitivity to transplanting. In warmer climates (zones 9-11), nasturtiums can be grown as a winter annual or almost year-round. Learn more about your region’s frost dates by checking out our blog post, ‘Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.’
How to Sow and Plant
Nasturtiums are best direct-sown in the garden. Soak the seeds in warm water overnight before planting to soften the hard seed coat and improve germination rates. Sow seeds 1/2-1 inch deep and space them 8-12 inches apart. They germinate in about 7-14 days. If starting indoors, use biodegradable pots to avoid root disturbance during transplanting. Thin seedlings to maintain proper airflow and space for growth.
How to Grow
Nasturtiums grow well in a variety of settings, from garden beds to containers and trellises. Ensure they receive 6-8 hours of full sun daily for the best blooms, though they can tolerate partial shade. Water them deeply once a week, and more frequently during hot or dry conditions, but avoid waterlogging the soil. Fertilization is unnecessary, as rich soil reduces flowering. Deadhead flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming.
How to Save
- Nasturtiums will often reseed, but to save seeds, allow them to mature and fall to the ground.
- Collect them and store them in a cool, dark, dry place over the winter.
