How to Seed Nasturtium ‘Honolulu’ (Tropaeolum majus)

1. When to Sow: Sow outdoors in spring to early summer after the last frost, or indoors 3–4 weeks earlier for earlier blooms.

2. Soil: Thrives in poor to moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid overly rich soils, as they encourage foliage at the expense of flowers.

3. Sowing: Sow seeds 2 cm deep, spacing plants 25–30 cm apart. Nasturtiums dislike transplanting, so sow directly if possible.

4. Watering: Water lightly but regularly. Once established, they tolerate drier soil but bloom best with consistent watering.

5. Germination: Seeds sprout in 10–14 days at 15–20 °C.

6. Care: Place in full sun for abundant flowering. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers.

7. Harvesting/Use: Flowers and young leaves are edible, adding a peppery flavor to salads.
