Do nasturtiums need rich soil?

No. Nasturtiums grow well in relatively poor soil and may produce fewer flowers when the soil is overly fertile. Avoid excessive fertilization to encourage blooms.

How much sunlight do nasturtiums need?

Nasturtiums grow in full sun to partial shade. Choose a location with plenty of sunlight to encourage flowering.

Should I start nasturtium seeds indoors or sow them directly outdoors?
