- AdamVerified ReviewerRated 2 out of 5 stars12/21/25Might be the wrong seeds in the packet...
I bought these in 2024. I grew them with no issues but found they were all orange. I had forgotten that they were supposed to be a variety of colors at the time and didn't think anything of it. When fall came and I harvested seeds, I pulled out the original seed packet to jot down details and discovered that they should have been a variety of colors instead. The seeds then grew into the described blend of colors for 2025. I can only guess that there was a mix-up in 2024 and I received a hybrid that were all orange but the next generation randomized the genetics which netted me the variety of colors. Not sure if anyone else reported this for 2024.

These nasturtiums are huge and lovely. I have them cascading out of the raised beds and not only do the insects love them, I love having loads of edible flowers.
