Growing Non-GMO Organic Jewel Mix Nasturtium Flower Seeds
Sow 2-3 seeds 0.125 inches deep. Nasturtium seeds need darkness to germinate so be sure to cover the seeds with some soil. Nasturtium may be directly sown after the last spring frost or started indoors 6-8 weeks earlier. Germination takes place in 7-12 days at temperatures of 65F. Nasturtiums like relatively cool temperatures of 60-75. While they are drought tolerant, they may show signs of wilting during the heat of the summer. Grow in a full sun to partial shade location. Partial shade will help alleviate heat stress during the hot summer months. Space plants approximately 18-24 inches apart.
Jewel Mix Nasturtium blooms from the late spring through fall months up until the frost. While it does not require deadheading, this may be helpful to keep your plants looking clean and manicured. Occassional pruning can help control the trailing growth if desired. Expect these plants to spread or trail. This growth habit makes for a beautiful spilling look over containers or hanging baskets.
Organic Jewel Mix Nasturtium in the Flower Garden
Jewel Mix Nasturtium is great for attracting pollinators to your garden. The blooms provide attractive red, yellow, and orange blooms throughout the growing season. With a dwarf, spreading trail habit this is the perfect variety for a spilling look in containers or hanging baskets. It may also be used for a filler, ground cover, or low-growing mass planting to keep the soil covered and prevent weeds from becoming established.
Companion Planting With Organic Jewel Mix Nasturtium
Nasturtiums are a popular companion plant in the home vegetable garden. They attract pollinators and repel cucumber beetles, squash beetles, Colorado potato beetles, mexican bean beetles, and whiteflies. We recommend pairing them with your brassicas, cucumbers, melons, radishes, squash, or tomato crops.
About Organic Jewel Mix Nasturtium Garden Seeds
Jewel Mix Nasturtiums are edible. Their leaves, pods, seeds, buds, and especially the flowers may be eaten. These seeds also produce beautiful microgreens with a peppery flavor.
These flowers are drought tolerant once established, but prefer cooler temperatures. They are not heat tolerant and may benefit from partial shade during the hot summer months.
The blooms display 2.5 inch red, orange, or yellow flowers.
Nasturtium are deer resistant as they generally aren’t attracted to the peppery flavor.
