Description
Every salad should be graced with edible nasturtium flowers! The leaves are also edible. Dreary winter? In a south window, grow these cheery flowers inside! This compact variety is an excellent edging plant that attracts pollinators, and is fairly drought tolerant. Often grown as an annual; perennial in USDA zones 10 and warmer. Rabbit and deer resistant.
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED.
1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date.
Mild Climates: Sow in fall for winter bloom. Ideal soil temperature for germination is 55-65F.
When to start inside: Not recommended.
2-4 weeks before your average last frost date. Roots sensitive to transplant disturbance; sow in biodegradable pots that can be directly planted in the ground.
Special germination instructions: Soak seed in water for 12 to 24 hours before sowing. Darkness aids germination; sow at the recommended depth.
