Schedule Kaleidoscope Mix Nasturtium for the cool-season planting window appropriate to your climate. Start seed in a protected setting or direct sow when the product record allows, then thin or transplant so each plant has room to develop. Check moisture at root depth and adjust irrigation to weather and soil rather than a universal schedule. As maturity approaches, inspect head, stem, or leaf development according to the crop type and harvest at the preferred size and firmness.

The round, green leaves are also edible and add a zesty touch to dishes.

Easy to grow and low-maintenance, Kaleidoscope Mix Nasturtiums are also grown by gardeners of all experience levels.

All the traditional bright colors of a nasturtium mix with the added plus of marvelous swirled bicolors.

Because this packet contains a mix, component proportions and the number of varieties visible in a small planting will vary. Emergence, growth rate, mature size, color, and harvest or bloom timing can also differ among components and with site conditions. Evaluate the planting across the full season rather than assuming the first seedlings, flowers, or harvest represent the entire mix.
