Peach Melba Dwarf Nasturtium Seeds
The Peach Melba Nasturtium is a compact, dwarf variety known for its unique bi-color flowers. Each bloom features soft cream-colored petals accented by a striking red-maroon center. These plants maintain a tidy, mounded habit, making them a practical choice for small-space gardening, container planting, or as a colorful border in vegetable patches.
Growing and Care Information
To support optimal germination, it is recommended to soak seeds in lukewarm water for 4 to 8 hours prior to planting. This process helps soften the seed coat, facilitating more uniform sprout emergence. These plants perform best in well-draining soil and require moderate sunlight to maintain their compact growth habit.

Cultivation Tips for Success
For consistent results, ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged during the initial germination phase. Avoid over-fertilizing, as excess nitrogen can encourage heavy foliage growth at the expense of flower production. These plants are sensitive to frost and should be sown once soil temperatures have warmed in the spring.
