Nasturtium Shoots (Tropaeolum spp.) - Key Growing Information
SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Tropaeolum spp.
CULTURE:
Grow them in a greenhouse, indoors under lights, or outdoors in warm weather of at least 60–65°F (16–18°C). Seed sprouts in 7–14 days, and no soaking is needed. Fill flats with 1–1½" of soilless mix. Sow thickly in a single layer, press the seed in lightly, and cover it with a thin layer of mix, since it needs darkness to germinate. Keep it moist but not wet, either watering from above or bottom watering in a leakproof tray. Shoots usually reach selling size in about 14–21 days.
HARVEST:
With a sharp harvest knife or scissors, cut just above the soil once shoots are 3–6" tall with 2–4 leaves, or at whatever size your customers like. Bag them or seal in containers and refrigerate.
