Growing tips

You can pre-grow the seeds on the windowsill from March. You can start direct sowing in May. It is important to wait until after the last frost. Place the rows at least 30 cm apart, as the cress will spread rapidly later on. The first seedlings can be seen approx. 15 days after sowing. To ensure that the nasturtium flowers abundantly, choose a sunny location. It thrives best in loose soil. Choose a suitable variety for you. Depending on the space, there are small to large climbing plants. You can let the ends of the vines climb up a climbing support or let them hang down from a pot.
