How to grow Peach Melba Nasturtium seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Indoor starting is not needed; nasturtiums are usually sown directly where they will grow. If started indoors, use biodegradable pots, as the roots dislike disturbance.
• Outdoors: Sow directly 1-2 weeks after the average last frost date; in mild climates, fall sowing works for winter bloom.

Prepare Your Materials

• A prepared garden bed or containers
• Well-draining soil
• Watering can or hose with a gentle spray

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow seeds 1/2 to 1 inch (1.5-2.5 cm) deep.
• Soak seeds in warm water overnight before sowing to speed sprouting, then plant 3 seeds together every 8-12 inches and thin to one seedling per spot.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Full sun; partial shade during the hottest afternoon hours in very hot climates.
• Temperature: Soil of 55-65°F (12-18°C) is ideal for germination.

Germination

• Seedlings typically emerge in 7-14 days.
• Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged until seedlings are up.

Transplanting

• Nasturtiums prefer to stay where they are sown; if started indoors, move seedlings out after the last frost without disturbing the roots.
• Space final plants 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) apart.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun; afternoon shade helps where summers are very hot.
• Water: Water regularly through the season, letting the surface dry slightly between waterings; avoid overwatering.
• Fertilizer: Plant in average or even poor soil and skip extra fertilizer — rich soil grows leaves at the expense of flowers.
• The flowers are edible with a peppery flavor and make a colorful garnish for salads.
