Haven’t tried these yet, but I’m sure they will be just like all of the other seeds and germinate well!

- Marissa W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars8/5/25Worked well for me
Love the flowers. Spotty germination but I’ve experienced that with other nasturtiums as well or they randomly come up later on.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with our Fiesta Blend Nasturtium Seeds! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you love the flowers - there's nothing quite like the vibrant colors and cheerful blooms that nasturtiums bring to the garden! You're spot on about the germination patterns with nasturtiums - they definitely have their own timeline and can be a bit unpredictable, but it sounds like you've got the patience and experience to work with their quirky nature. We love that you understand how these beauties sometimes like to surprise us by popping up when we least expect it! It's so rewarding when they finally show off those gorgeous blooms. Keep on growing 🌻️

I planted these nasturtiums in a Greenstalk alongside a bunch of other flowers interspersed with strawberries, and of all the flowers I planted, they look the best. They're absolutely rioting, despite a plague of grasshoppers.
They took a while to germinate, but by autumn the blossoms are going to be absolutely stunning - they're just starting, and I love the beautiful colors.
