Nasturtium Seeds

Nasturtium Seeds for Planting: Edible Flowers in Compact and Trailing Varieties

Nasturtiums are one of the easiest flowers you can grow from a packet, and one of the most generous. Our collection of nasturtium seeds brings you bright, peppery, edible blooms and round, shield-shaped leaves in compact mounding types, trailing vines, and variegated forms. They flower quickly, fill containers and bed edges with color, and draw bees and hummingbirds, which makes them a natural companion for the vegetable garden. Filter by container-friendly, heirloom, and days to maturity to find the habit that suits your space.

Nasturtium Flower Seeds: Compact, Trailing, and Variegated Varieties

Jewel Mix is a compact, bushy blend that holds red, rose, gold, and orange flowers above its foliage, which suits borders and pots. Peach Melba is a dwarf plant with creamy yellow blooms and a red-orange throat, and it's a good fit for containers and window boxes. Alaska Mix is the foliage pick, with green leaves splashed in cream on bushy plants that look good even before the first flower opens. Vesuvius offers apricot, salmon, and soft orange blooms on compact plants, and Apricot Nasturtium leans into similarly warm tones. For vines that spill over walls, baskets, and raised bed edges, Kaleidoscope Mix and Fiesta Trailing Blend ramble outward in mixed colors. Choosing between a mounding type and a trailing type is the main decision, so decide where the plant will live before you order.

Nasturtium Seed Planting: Direct Sow and Keep It Simple

Growing nasturtium from seed is about as easy as gardening gets. The seeds are large and easy to handle, and soaking them overnight before sowing helps them sprout in roughly two weeks. Sow them about half an inch deep right where they'll grow, since nasturtiums resent having their roots disturbed, and choose a sunny spot with average, well-drained soil. You can sow from about two weeks before your last frost through early summer, and plants typically bloom within two months of sowing and keep flowering until frost. Because they're frost tender but quick to grow, staggering a couple of sowings gives you color for longer. The Seedtime garden planning software builds a planting calendar around your frost dates, and the layout planner helps you tuck nasturtiums along bed edges and between vegetable rows.
