Planting Instructions:

• Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, in well-drained soil with full to partial sun exposure.
• Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 8-12 inches apart, gently covering them with soil.
• Keep the soil consistently moist during germination and early growth stages.
• Provide support or trellising for climbing varieties.

Growth and Care:

• Nasturtiums thrive in average to poor soil conditions and require minimal fertilization.
• Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
• Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season.
• Avoid over-fertilizing, as it may promote excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
• Nasturtiums are generally low-maintenance and pest-resistant, making them an excellent choice for beginner gardeners.

Harvesting and Usage:

• Both the flowers and leaves of Peach Melba Nasturtiums are edible and add a peppery, tangy flavor to salads, sandwiches, and garnishes.
