Full Product Description

Nasturtium is an easy‑to‑grow warm‑season annual vine. The round flat‑shaped leaves and striking vivid‑toned flowers create a bright visual effect. It grows well in sunny spots and tolerates infertile sandy soil.

Many gardeners plant nasturtium in hanging planters, flower beds and vegetable gardens. Our tropaeolum majus seeds are strictly screened to remove shrivelled and damaged grains for uniform seedling emergence.

Packaging & Shipping Notes

Hard nasturtium seeds are sealed inside thick leak‑proof moisture‑proof inner bags. Outer hard cartons and soft shock‑absorbing fillers prevent seed‑coat cracking during long‑distance shipment.

Packages stay away from high‑temperature sealed cargo compartments, damp wet surroundings and prolonged direct sunlight to preserve seed vitality. After receiving the parcel, inspect seeds timely. Reseal leftover seeds tightly and keep away from hot‑humid enclosed‑space.

Planting Guide

Best Sowing Season

Sow seeds in late‑spring once all spring frost has disappeared.

Seed Pre‑Treatment

Soak hard‑shelled seeds in room‑temperature warm water for 12‑24 hours to soften outer coats
Mix seeds with coarse dry sand for convenient sowing

Soil Requirement

Clear weeds and stones, loosen the planting ground. Loose well‑drained sandy‑loam works best; rich over‑fertilized soil causes excessive leaf growth and fewer blooms. Avoid water‑logged low‑lying land.

Sowing Operation

Place each seed 0.5‑1 inch beneath fine soil, keep proper spacing, then lightly compress topsoil.

Germination & Seedling Care

Keep soil moderately moist. Seeds germinate within 7‑14 days under 18‑26℃. Thin seedlings and pull weeds in the early‑growth period.

Daily‑care for Mature Plants

Grow under full sunlight for abundant blossoms. Water during extended dry weather. Trim over‑long trailing stems to control plant shape.

Seed Storage & Package

Moisture‑proof sealed packaging protects seeds against dampness, mould and transit‑caused damage.

Store leftover seeds in cool, dry, shaded and well‑ventilated locations. Refrigerate for long‑time storage and stay away from high‑temperature humid air. Sow seeds within three‑month storage for the optimal germination‑rate.
