Nasturtiums often self seed in warmer climates, seeds are easy to collect for the following year.
Sow seeds indoors early 1/4″ deep transplant after frost. Or direct sow when the soil is warm. Partial shade to sunny location.

Indoors: sow seed  6-8 weeks before last frost date. Days to germination 5-10 days. When all danger of frost is past, transfer plants outside when seedlings have 3-4 sets of leaves, in a sunny location, spacing 12-18″ apart, in rows 18″ apart.

Outdoors: Direct sow seed after last frost date and soil is warm. Thin plants to 12-18″ apart. Days to germination: 5-10 days. 65-70 days to harvest.

Harvest – light harvesting of leaves may begin after plants have become established. It is best done in the early morning when the temperature is cooler, and the leaves are less likely to wilt. Full harvest should be done just before plants start to flower. Cut the entire plant 4″-6″ above the ground to promote a second growth. Leaves are easily bruised when picking, so handle with care. Store Basil above 50 degrees F. after harvest. If exposed to temperatures lower than 50 degrees F, basil can suffer from cold damage. Use a separate cooler space for cut basil, where you can control the temperature, or store in a cool, dark place.

Bachelor Button’s are easy to grow and flower non-stop throughout the summer months and well into fall, and excellent choice for cut flowers!  Pinch back spent blooms to encourage non-stop blooming.

Bachelor Button’s require little maintenance and thrive in poor, dry soil, including sand or clay. Plant seeds directly in the garden after the last frost in early spring. In frost-free climates, plant the seeds in autumn for spring blooms. Although the plant is an annual, it usually reseeds itself for a repeat appearance year after year.
Lightly cover seeds with soil, plant in full sun!

Soak seeds up to 24 hours before planting. Plants are strongest from an early, indoor sowing. Sweet peas can also be direct sown in the fall wherever winters are mild. Or direct sow seeds as soon as soil is workable in early Spring. Once planted, germination can take 7 to 15 days, depending on the soil temperature. Give them at least 6 ft of good support that they can cling to. When plants become established, mulch well to keep the soil cool and moist. If you mulch, you may not need to water your sweet peas unless the soil gets dry. To encourage bushy growth, pinch off the tops when plants are 6 inches tall, not before or you’ll encourage premature side-shoot development.

Do not eat.

Lightly cover seeds with soil in sunny location early spring.
