Nasturtium Seeds - Track | Nightstock by Retrosheep
🌿 What Is a Nasturtium?
Nasturtiums (Tropaeolum majus) are beloved for their vibrant trumpet-shaped flowers, lush trailing foliage, and edible leaves and blooms. They come in a dazzling mix of reds, oranges, yellows, and creamy whites, making them perfect for borders, hanging baskets, containers, or wild cottage gardens.
Flowering period: June to October
Growth habit: Bushy or trailing (depending on variety)
Height: 20–30 cm (bush types) up to 2 metres (trailing types)
Bonus: Flowers and leaves are edible with a peppery kick—great in salads!
🌱 How to Germinate Nasturtium Seeds
Nasturtiums are famously easy to grow—even for beginners.
Soak seeds overnight in warm water to soften the shell.
Sow directly into soil after the last frost (April–May), or start indoors 2–3 weeks earlier.
Plant depth: 1.5 cm deep
Spacing: 25–30 cm apart
Germination time: 7–14 days
They thrive in poor to average soil—no need for rich compost—and prefer full sun. Overfeeding can reduce flowering, so let them work their magic naturally.
🌍 Where to Grow Them
Best locations: Sunny borders, raised beds, window boxes, hanging baskets, or trailing over walls
Climate: Hardy annuals in UK conditions; ideal for temperate gardens
Companion planting: Great for deterring aphids and whiteflies—often planted near brassicas and tomatoes
