Sow nasturtium seeds
Sowing nasturtiums is very easy. You push the seeds into a part of the garden that you have first hoeed well. For example, you can choose a forgotten corner of the garden. The plant is not demanding in terms of soil, only soil that is too wet is not suitable for the young plants. The nasturtium also likes the sun and grows best in a sunny spot.
You should plant the seeds about 30 to 40 centimeters apart, because the plant can get quite wide and they will get in each other’s way if you sow too close together. Of course you can also thin out or move the young plants later if it is clear which seeds will yield the best plants. The nasturtium can also be planted in a pot. Consider the space that a mature plant needs.
When to sow nasturtiums?
If you are going to sow this plant for the first time, it is no problem to buy seeds. The nasturtium is also often used in schools to teach children a little more about nature. You can buy the seeds all year round, but sowing should be done in March or April if you still want to see flowers the same year. If you choose to sow nasturtiums in the fall, they will not grow and bloom until the following spring. The plants are often of a lower quality because of the winter.
