Seed Sowing & Growing Notes
Start seed indoors in pots 4 to 6 weeks before last frost; transplant out after all danger of frost has passed. Nasturtiums are very sensitive to cold; wait until the weather has warmed to transplant out. Provide a strong trellis or support for vines to climb.
Harvesting/Vase Life
Harvest flowers just as they are opening. If using entire vines, harvest when the foliage becomes leathery or firm to the touch. Expect a vase life of 7 to 10 days.
