Spacing: Space plants 8-12 inches apart.
Watering: Water regularly, but ensure good drainage.
Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming.
Harvesting: Pick flowers and leaves for fresh eating as needed.
Tips: Avoid planting next to Thyme and Mint as they will take over aggressively and will take out Nasturtium and grow over it.
Nasturtiums will grow best in a sunny part of the garden in areas with cooler summers, but should be placed in a partially shady spot in areas with hotter summer days. In areas with hotter summers, plant Nasturtiums in a partially shaded area of the garden. Nasturtiums grow best in the sun in areas with cooler summers.
Growth Habit: Nasturtium is a fast-growing annual that today is usually offered in its compact, non-vining form, but its true character is that of a weak-climbing vine or sprawler. It has semi-succulent, peppery tasting leaves that are round with the petiole attached in the center of the leaf blade.
