Seed Needs, 350+ Nasturtium Seeds “Black Velvet” (Tropaeolum Minus) Non-GMO, Easy to Grow Flower Seeds, Attracts Pollinators - Bulk

I have had great luck with these seeds, and my gardening skills are questionable. These always sprout and produce lovely, deep red flowers.

Perfect product! This type flower repels squash bugs but is not easy to grow. Takes a lot of care to get them started, through no fault of the seller. Have to admit all the seeds spouted just fine but my black thumb had a time keeping them alive. Thanks to the seller for having great seeds to get me started.

I have other mixed color nasturtium saved from my own plants that I planted at the same time. I thought a couple pots of red only would be pretty. Now I have a couple pots of dirt with no signs of life, a month later and not enough time to get more of my other ones going. I noticed the seeds were tiny compared to my own, and thought maybe it was the difference in variety. Now I think they were likely harvested too early thud duds. I really wanted some of this color. Will be requesting a refund and avoiding purchasing this brand in the future.

I had a good germination rate. Probably about 75%. The seeds were easy to tell from other nasturtium seeds (darker and smaller). Nice in the mix.

Started this about 15 days ago. Soaked the seeds for 2 days. Underestimated and soaked too many, had to follow through. They have been growing nicely in those plastic fruit containers under a grow light. Have pesky squirrels and seeds planted outside tend to not do as well as baby plants. They are a bit delicate but am hoping they will transplant outside without too fuss in a week or so. Zone 9B, early March

I nicked the seeds a tiny but with a knife then I soaked for a few hours in warm water. My germination rate is probably around 50%. I have them started indoors to transplant outside in Spring. I think I started them too early though and they are growing faster then I thought and I still need to keep them inside 6 more weeks- oops! The one pictured is about a month since being planted as a seed.

I have bought seeds from this company before and appreciated the high germination rate.That's why I ordered flower seeds again!The Nasturtium flowers are very beautiful during our Alaskan Summertime.I start them indoors early in April - then transfer outside once we are Frost-Free in June.

These seeds are of a good quality. But unfortunately they are not the deep red “black velvet” as advertised. I planted them all over and they all came up bright orange.
