About This

• WHAT DO I GET IN THIS PACK OF DWARF NASTURTIUM SEEDS? This 2-pack contains 90 Cherry Rose Dwarf Nasturtium seeds total, with 45 seeds per envelope. These heirloom, non-GMO Tropaeolum majus seeds produce compact dwarf plants with edible cherry-rose flowers suited to containers, borders, and edible gardens.
• WHAT DO THE CHERRY ROSE FLOWERS LOOK LIKE, AND HOW LONG DO THEY BLOOM? Single flowers reach 2–3 in. across in a distinctive cherry-rose color. Deadhead regularly to help extend flowering from early summer until first frost.
• HOW BIG DOES THIS NASTURTIUM PLANT GROW, AND WILL IT FIT IN A CONTAINER? This compact dwarf nasturtium stays 10–12 in. tall with a tidy mounding form and needs no staking. It fits a 6-in. pot, window box, or hanging basket, and edges borders neatly without sprawling.
• WHAT KIND OF SOIL SUPPORTS FLOWERING? Nasturtiums thrive in light, well-drained, average-to-lean soil. Rich or nitrogen-heavy beds encourage leafy growth over flowers. Grow in full sun and avoid heavy feeding to support abundant flowering.
• HOW FAST DO NASTURTIUM SEEDS GERMINATE, AND WHEN SHOULD I SOW THEM? Direct sow outdoors after the last spring frost once soil reaches 60°F. Sow ½ in. deep in full sun, since seeds need darkness to germinate. Germination occurs in 7–14 days at 60–65°F (16–18°C).
• ARE NASTURTIUM FLOWERS EDIBLE, AND WHAT DO THEY TASTE LIKE? Yes. The flowers and young leaves are edible, with a peppery, watercress-like taste. Use them fresh in salads or as a garnish. They're a natural fit for edible flower gardens and kitchen herb borders.
• DO NASTURTIUMS ATTRACT POLLINATORS? Yes. The spurred flowers are a nectar favorite, drawing bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Plant them in pollinator gardens or mixed borders to support beneficial insects from early summer to frost.
• IS CHERRY ROSE DWARF NASTURTIUM AN ANNUAL OR A PERENNIAL? Cherry Rose Dwarf is grown as a frost-tender annual in all zones. Allow some seed pods to ripen at season's end to encourage self-seeding for the following season.
• ARE THESE SEEDS HEIRLOOM AND NON-GMO, AND CAN I SAVE SEED FROM THEM? Yes. Cherry Rose Dwarf Nasturtium seeds are heirloom and non-GMO. Allow mature pods to ripen for seed saving, and succession sow through early summer to extend flower production until frost.
• SHOULD I DIRECT SOW OR START NASTURTIUM SEEDS INDOORS? Direct sow ½ in. deep in full sun after frost danger has passed, spacing plants 10–12 in. apart. Seeds can also be started indoors with approximately 14 hours of supplemental grow light daily.
