Planting Instructions:

1. Soil Preparation: Nasturtiums prefer well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. They are tolerant of poor soil conditions but thrive in soil enriched with compost.
2. Sowing Indoors: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds in seed-starting mix, covering them lightly with soil.
3. Germination: Maintain a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) and keep the soil consistently moist. Germination typically occurs within 7-10 days.
4. Transplanting: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost, spacing them 8-12 inches apart. Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.
5. Direct Sowing: In mild climates, sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost. Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep and keep the soil moist until germination.

Growing Tips:

• Sunlight: Nasturtiums thrive in full sun but can also tolerate partial shade. Aim for at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Nasturtiums are somewhat drought-tolerant but perform best with consistent moisture.
• Fertilization: Nasturtiums prefer poor to moderately fertile soil and generally do not require additional fertilization. Over-fertilizing can lead to excessive foliage at the expense of flowers.
• Pruning: Regularly pinch back spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and to maintain a neat appearance.
• Support: If growing climbing varieties, provide a trellis or support for the plants to climb.
