Glorious Gleam Nasturtium Mix can be direct-seeded or transplanted. However, for best results, we recommend transplanting. This flower variety grows great in our heavy-duty seed starting trays with our Black Gold Seed Starting Mix. Plant one seed per cell and keep soil moist, but not over-saturated. Fertilize seedlings after the appearance of the first true leaves. Plants will be ready to transplant with they can be easily pulled from the cells in the seed tray.

Nasturtium does well when planted in Spring and allowed to bloom into Summer. In spring, plant several weeks before the last frost date. Place transplants 6-12″ apart along the row. Prune blooms (deadhead) for continual performance throughout the growing season.
