Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
The Baby Orange nasturtium is an heirloom variety that prefers full sun but can tolerate light shade, especially in hotter climates. They thrive in poor to moderately fertile soil that is well-draining. Avoid overly rich soil, which can lead to lush foliage at the expense of flowers. Once established, nasturtiums require minimal care and are drought-tolerant.
When to Grow
Nasturtiums grow best when directly sown outdoors in the spring after the danger of frost has passed, once soil temperatures reach at least 55 F. For earlier blooms, seeds can be started indoors 4 weeks before the last frost date and transplanted carefully after hardening off. Check your local region’s last frost dates to determine the best planting time. To better understand frost dates in your area, read our blog post, ‘Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.’
How to Sow and Plant
Nasturtiums are best direct-sown outdoors. Plant seeds 1/2-1 inch deep and space them 8–12 inches apart. To speed up germination, soak seeds in warm water overnight before sowing. If starting indoors, use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance during transplanting. Place the seeds in a sunny window or under grow lights until they are ready to be hardened off.
How to Grow
Water sparingly, when the soil feels dry, as they prefer dry to moderately moist conditions. Overwatering can cause root rot or excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers. Do not fertilize nasturtiums, as they thrive in lean soil. If growing in containers, ensure proper drainage to avoid waterlogging the soil. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season.
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.
FAQ
Do Baby Orange nasturtiums need fertilizer?

How do I prevent aphids on Baby Orange nasturtiums?
Aphids may occasionally target nasturtiums. Use a strong water spray to knock them off or apply neem oil or insecticidal soap. Nasturtiums can also serve as a trap crop, luring aphids away from other plants.

This compact variety typically grows to about 12 inches tall and spreads about 12–18 inches, making it ideal for edging or containers.
