How to Grow

Nasturtium 'Peach Melba' seeds can be sown indoors from February to April for an earlier display, or outdoors after the risk of frost has passed. These compact plants thrive in well-drained soil with full sun exposure, making them ideal for window boxes and containers.

  • Sowing

    Sow seeds directly outdoors from April to May in a weed-free spot, planting them 2–3 cm deep and watering gently to encourage germination within 7 to 14 days.

  • Growing

    Thin seedlings to allow a spread of around 35 cm, or grow in 20 cm pots to accommodate their 25 cm height, ensuring good air circulation and healthy growth for this dwarf nasturtium variety.

  • Plant care

    Water regularly during dry spells, especially in containers. Deadhead occasionally to keep plants tidy, though leaving some flowers encourages self-seeding. Avoid rich fertilisers for best flowering.

Nasturtium seedlings raised in homemade newspaper pots that plant out whole.
