Press shallow-sown seed into good soil contact and keep the seed zone from drying during establishment. Thin or transplant only when the growth habit and spacing call for it. Leave enough room for mature width and air movement. Bloom timing and final height can shift with sowing date, climate, soil, moisture, and competition, so use listed figures as planning ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not allow plants to dry out during germination or bloom season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Growing: To Start Outdoors: Sow seeds in spring, once the danger of frost has passed, in full sun (or partial shade in hot climates).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoke seeds into well-worked soil about 1\" deep and 3 - 4\" apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePress soil firmly over the seeds and keep moist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen seedlings are large enough to handle, thin to 10\" apart as mounding plants need ample room to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo Start Early Indoors: Sow 2 seeds in individual 4\" pots of well-drained seed starting mix 3 weeks before last expected frost date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore related options in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flower-seeds\"\u003eFlower Seeds\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Renee's Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21544899379313,"sku":"SWF5188","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/products\/renee-s-garden-nasturtium-alaska-mix-heirloom.jpg?v=1747083049","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/renee-s-garden-nasturtium-alaska-mix-heirloom","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
