Very prolific! Grew well in our mild winter in zone 10b. I really enjoyed it softening the edge of my raised bed. 4/5 since I did wish the color was more vibrant.

In the past six months, I have purchased at least six packages of these Nasturtiums. I planted two packages, i’ve given away two packages and I have two packages left. They only bloom, dark red flowers. I am very disappointed. I would like a credit for the six packages. I always like your product, but was so disappointed by these.

Threw some seeds out in the yard and voila! I have a mixture of this maroonish/burgundy color and also have a few dusty pinks growing. I adore these colors, prefer it over the basic orange and yellows one usually gets with Nasturtium.

Very poor germination of black and purple seeds. Hoping to get a few more but it has been 13 days. Soaked as directed. Espoma seed starting mix. Sunny SW Window, 14 hour grow light. Growing 20+ other herbs and flowers all have germinated
