Salmon Baby Nasturtium

Salmon Baby Nasturtium is a compact, dwarf variety that produces dark green leaves and blooms in varying shades of salmon pink. This petite nasturtium is ideal for containers or the front of flower beds, continuing to bloom from mid-summer to the first frost. Grows to 12”. 30 seeds   PLANTING Tropaeolum majus Annual Germination: 10-12 days, soaking seeds overnight aids germination Seed Planting Depth: Sow 1/2” deep Starting Indoors: Start indoors 2-4 weeks before the last frost. Provide 60-65ºF soil temperatures until germination. Using individual biodegradable peat/cow pots/paper pots helps to reduce root damage when transplanting. Transplant 8-10” apart after the last frost date. Sowing Outdoors: 2 weeks before the last frost into early summer  Spacing: 8-12” Growth Habit:  Trailing Height and Width: 10-12” x 12-15" Light Needs:  Full sun  Soil Needs:  Average, well-drained. An abundance of nitrogen in the soil promotes excess foliage with limited blooms Approximate days to flower from seed: 55-65 days Uses: Attracts pollinators, flower beds, containers, window boxes, hanging baskets, edible flowers and leaves, companion plant in the vegetable garden-brassicas, cucumbers, melons, squash, radishes, and tomatoes Care: Low maintenance, minimal care required. Deadheading is not necessary but promotes vigorous blooms. When growing in containers they might need to be pruned back during the middle of the season to maintain their shape and watered more frequently
