Growing Non-GMO Organic Jewel Mix Nasturtium Flower Seeds Jewel Mix Nasturtium is easy to grow from seed and recommended for direct sowing outdoors when the soil temperature is at least 50 F. Start Jewel Mix nasturtium seeds indoors 6-8 weeks prior to final frost.

Nasturtium seeds will germinate in 2-3 weeks and, once germinated, move to fluorescent grow light for 16 hours of light per day until two sets of true leaves have developed.

Transplant seedlings to indoor containers, or harden off if transplanting to a shaded spot outside. If starting indoors, be sure to harden off before planting outdoors.

For direct sowing, plant 2-3 Jewel Mix Nasturtium seeds per hole. The optimal soil temperature is 65 F. Plant again in early July for continuous blooms throughout mild winters. Mulch around the base of the plants to suppress weeds and reduce watering needs. Deadheading spent blooms or removing prime blossoms for consumption will increase flower production throughout the season.

Nasturtiums are one of the first plants to bloom in the spring and will be one of the last to fade in the fall with minimal effort on your part! Jewel Mix also performs well in containers.

Group 3-5 plants in a 10-inch deep pot. Provide mulch and increase the watering schedule when growing in containers. Nasturtium will self-sow in mild winters. Although Jewel Mix nasturtium is tolerant to drought and poor soil, plants will show signs of wilt and decline by mid-summer once daytime heat becomes too extreme.

Unlike other varieties of nasturtium, Jewel Mix is a dwarfed variety and does not require the same full sun as much taller cultivars.

About Organic Jewel Mix Nasturtium Garden Seeds Tropaeolum majus, commonly called nasturtium (Nah-Stur-Shum), is native to the warm subtropics of the 10,000-ft high Andes mountains in Bolivia and Colombia. Nasturtium receives its common name from an oil it produces similar to watercress (Nasturtium officinale). Tropaeolum majus, or Nasturtium, can also be known as Indian cress, Mexican cress, and Peruvian cress. Nasturtiums are also grown as a perennial in zones 9-11. Simply allow them to persist. Prune back each year to keep them under control. They will self-seed and send up new shoots each spring if not contained. Stories From Our Gardeners
