DIRECT SEED - After last frost, Sow 15-25mm deep. Cover seeds as darkness is required for germination.
TRANSPLANT - Start seed indoors in pots 4 weeks before last frost and/or transplant date. Nasturtiums are very sensitive to cold; wait until the weather has warmed to transplant out. Nasturtium is a trailing plant. Provide space to sprawl or a strong trellis or support for vines to climb.
HARVESTING/VASE LIFE - Harvest flowers just as they are opening. If using entire vines, harvest when the foliage becomes leathery or firm to the touch. Expect a vase life of 7 to 10 days.
