Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation: No specific preparation required, but soaking seeds in lukewarm water for 24 hours before planting can help soften the seed coat and promote germination.

Sowing: 

Sow seeds directly into the garden bed after the danger of frost has passed, or start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost date. Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep and 6-12 inches apart.

Germination: 

Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days under optimal conditions of soil moisture and temperature (around 65-75°F).

Transplanting: 

If starting indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors once they have developed their second set of true leaves. Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over the course of a week before transplanting.

Care and Maintenance: 

Water plants regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering as Nasturtiums prefer slightly dry conditions. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Nasturtiums are generally low-maintenance plants but may benefit from occasional pruning to control their size and shape. Watch out for aphids, which are attracted to Nasturtiums, and treat them with insecticidal soap if necessary.

Happy gardening!
