Growing Notes

• Direct sow 10–20 mm deep once the soil is workable; keep evenly moist through germination.
• Use 30–45 cm spacing and avoid rich, high-nitrogen feeding, which encourages leaves at the expense of flowers.
• Provide a trellis or other support from the start for this climbing growth type.
• Full sun gives the best flowering in cool to mild weather; afternoon relief can help during extreme inland heat.
• Only eat flowers or leaves when the crop is correctly identified and has not been treated with products unsuitable for edible crops; do not rely on nasturtiums as complete pest control.
