Nasturtium - Aloha Mix - Tropacolum majus Annual - Aloha Mix is a blend of soft tropical shades including apricot, cream, soft yellow and rose. These pretty blossoms atop lily pad-shaped leaves make a lovely garden tapestry. Aloha Mix grows readily in pots or window boxes, or plant in garden beds to softly drape and cover bare spots or fill in borders. Both flowers and leaves of nasturtiums are edible with a spicy flavor like watercress. They make tasty additions to salads or sandwiches.

Do not allow plants to dry out during germination or bloom season.
Planting & Growing: To Start Outdoors: Sow seeds in spring, once the danger of frost has passed, in full sun (or partial shade in hot climates).
Poke seeds into well-worked soil about 1" deep and 3 - 4" apart.
Press soil firmly over the seeds and keep moist.
When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin to 10" apart as mounding plants need ample room to grow.

Soil & Water:Grow in any well-drained garden soil. No fertilizer is usually needed and too much nitrogen will create abundant foliage without substantial bloom. Do not allow plants to dry out during germination or bloom season.
Planting & Growing:To Start Outdoors: Sow seeds in spring, once the danger of frost has passed, in full sun (or partial shade in hot climates). Poke seeds into well-worked soil about 1" deep and 3 - 4" apart. Press soil firmly over the seeds and keep moist. When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin to 10" apart as mounding plants need ample room to grow. To Start Early Indoors: Sow 2 seeds in individual 4" pots of well-drained seed starting mix 3 weeks before last expected frost date. Cover 1" deep. Provide a strong light source. When seedlings have several sets of leaves pinch out the weaker seedling, leaving 1 per pot. When weather is evenly in the 50's, gradually acclimate to outdoor conditions. Transplant seedlings into the garden 10" apart in full sun. These mounding nasturtiums are reliable and easy to tuck into any well-drained spot. They are a perfect disguise to cover fading bulb foliage in late spring. Their softly draping leaves and sunny flowers will quickly fill garden beds or containers. In mild winter climates, sow seeds again by mid-June for late summer blooms. Leaves and flowers are tasty additions to salads and sandwiches.

Germinated beautifully with no problems. Sowed directly in the ground and so far are growing fast!
This is my first time with these. Too early to give a flowering or consistency review, but the germination was surprisingly quick - the quickest I've had from any nasturtiums. I presoaked prior to planting in warm water for 6 hours, and the first one sprouted in three days.
These were the fastest growing of all the flowers I planted this spring. They have gotten to a nice size, and the flowers are beautiful!
