    Overall rating: 4.0 / 5 from 4 reviews.

    I feel bad posting this since these seeds have all 5 stars so far but I just did not have good luck with these. Only 3 germinated and only one of the three flowered once. The rest only grew a bit and then died off and the one only produced one flower and then died. I’m not sure if it was a bad batch or user error. This was my first time planting this type of flower. A lot of my other flowers were successful though so I’m not sure what happened.

    Store owner replied: Hello Lizbeth Sadauskas. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your dwarf nasturtiums didn't perform as you had hoped. Dwarf nasturtiums generally perform best in full sun and average to lean soils. In fact, overly rich soil or high-nitrogen fertilizers can encourage abundant foliage at the expense of flowers, while weather and growing conditions can also influence overall performance throughout the season. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help. We are pleased we were able to provide a resolution and appreciate your patience throughout the process. We stand behind our products and hope your next planting brings you the vibrant blooms nasturtiums are known for!

    I have been having issues the past couple of years with poor germination (may have been impacted by exposure to freezing temperatures), but this batch - which I ordered just prior to planting - has done well.
