Nasturtium Shoot Seed

Item #HSC-SHT-004-QTRLB

Spicy nasturtium shoots.

Nasturtium shoots have a spicy, peppery flavor.

Cut when 2–4 leaves have formed, just below where the leaves join the stem, so each shoot carries several leaves. Eat fresh, in salads, as a garnish or in many other dishes.

About 14–16 days from sowing, as shoots. Open-pollinated.

Growing guide

From seed to harvest

Cut at 3–6"

About 2–3 weeks from sowing.

Growing Information

Where to grow

In a greenhouse, indoors under lights, or outdoors once it stays at least 16–18°C (60–65°F).

Soaking

Not needed.

Sowing

Fill flats with 1–1½" of soilless mix. Spread the seed thickly in a single layer, press it in, and cover lightly: nasturtium seed germinates best in the dark. Seedlings appear in 7–14 days.

Watering

Keep the mix moist but not soggy, watering from above or from below with a leak-proof tray.

Timing

Shoots reach market size in roughly 14–21 days.

Harvest

With a sharp knife or scissors, cut just above the soil when shoots are 3–6" tall with 2–4 leaves, or at the size your market likes. Bag or box them and refrigerate.

Seeds per lb.

About 3,500 on average.
