Sow these seeds directly into the garden after your last frost date, and you'll have cascading blooms within weeks. The seeds prefer cooler germination temperatures of 55, 65°F, making spring sowing straightforward. They're frost-tender annuals, so timing matters, but the reward is a prolific, easy-to-grow trailing plant that tolerates moderate water and moderate feeding without demanding constant attention.
Single Blend Trailing Nasturtium is grown as an ornamental flower, prized for its trailing habit in hanging baskets, window boxes, and cascading arrangements. The cheerful blooms attract pollinators and add color to garden beds and containers throughout the warm season.

Starting indoors is not recommended. If you choose to start seeds indoors, sow 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date. Use biodegradable pots since nasturtium roots are sensitive to transplant disturbance; the entire pot can be planted directly in the ground to minimize root damage.
Transplant hardened-off seedlings outdoors after your average last frost date, when soil has warmed and all danger of frost has passed. Space plants 8, 12 inches apart.
Direct sowing is recommended. Sow seeds outdoors 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, or in fall for winter bloom in mild climates (zones 9, 11). Sow at a depth of 1/2 to 1 inch. When seedlings reach 2 inches tall, thin to one plant every 8, 12 inches.
Pinch back young stems early in the season to encourage bushier, fuller growth and more prolific flowering. The trailing habit requires minimal pruning once established, though you can remove dead flowers or leggy stems to keep plants looking tidy and to promote continued blooming.
