Crop Details
Transplant Conditions:
Wait until soil reaches 45°F
and nights stay above 35°F
before moving outdoors.
Harden off for 5 days first.
Direct sow preferred — this crop has sensitive roots and does not transplant well.
If starting indoors, use biodegradable pots and disturb roots as little as possible when moving outdoors.

Expert Note: Soak nasturtium seed 6–12 hours and sow after frost; they establish best with minimal root disturbance and will still bloom well in lean soil.
