About Nasturtium Variegated Mixed Flower Seeds

Nasturtium — a trailing plant with round leaves and bright edible flowers. Excellent for hanging baskets.

• Botanical name: Tropaeolum majus
• Care level: Easy
• Expected germination time: 7-12 days under suitable conditions*

How to Grow

1. Fill a seedling tray or small pot with a fine, clean, well-draining seed-starting mix.
2. Sow at the right depth — 1.5–2 cm (large seed, can be sown deeper).
3. Water gently with a spray bottle so the seeds are not displaced. Keep the medium moist, not waterlogged.
4. Place the tray where it gets the right light for this plant (full sun). Protect young seedlings from harsh afternoon sun.
5. Under suitable conditions, sprouts usually appear in 7-12 days.

Light, water, soil and feeding

• Light: Full sun
• Water: Water when the top soil dries. It tolerates a little drought.
• Soil: Poor to average well-drained soil — rich soil gives fewer flowers and more leaves.
• Temperature: 15–28°C; it shuts down above 35°C.
• Fertiliser: Very little. Overfeeding stops flowering.

Sowing season in India

September–November and February–March. Exact timing depends on your local temperature and conditions.

Common problems

Heavy aphid attacks; flowering pauses in hot weather.
