Great seeds
So far so good. I used a nail file and gave the seeds a little manicure. I got my kids involved, and we planted them all over the place to see where they would like it. Looking forward to enjoying the beautiful blooms in a month or so. Germination took place within 10 days or so. The west facing part germination was sooner.

Time will tell, but so far looking good
Update: 5/17/2020I am in love with these nasturtiums! I recently discovered that you can eat the flower petals, leaves AND green seeds (like eating a wasabi pea! they really pack a punch like horseradish!).In the end, nothing I put in my raised beds propagated, but the in-ground direct seeded plants are doing really well. Overall, very low germination. I planted approx 16 seeds and only ended up with three viable plants that are still alive today.Having said that, I have basically ignored them until the last month when I was researching how to use them as food and started snacking. They survived many months with free range chickens, zero frost protection, no fertilizer (other than random chicken poo) and somewhat clay type soil. Very happy with these and will be growing more.~~Purchased: April 22, 2019Planted: approx. May 10th, 2019Location: Northern CaliforniaGardener Skill: NoviceI followed some instructions (can't recall if part of the packaging or something I read online), but I put a small crack/slit in each seed and soaked in water overnight. I doubled seeded each direct seed hole (I have had problems with germination in the past due to poor soil). I had hoped they would germinate a little sooner than they did. I planted some in raised beds (with some shade from other plants) and some direct in the ground and full sun. I don't have any flowers yet (June 21, 2019) but I have some nice leaf growth even in the over crowded/leafy areas. Based on how it looks today, I expect to get some flowers in the next few weeks in my direct sun area, but probably nothing in my crowded raised beds. For those plants seeded direct into the ground, the ones planted with cucumbers are performing better than those I planted between potatoes and squash plants and they get approximately equal water and sun.

Germinates but no flowers
Planted so many of these and while they do germinate quickly and got a few leaves they never grew much and never saw a single flower. Very disappointed.

GREAT FLOWERS, DIFFERENT COLORS!
I bought these seeds after picking wild nasturtium flowers when we went hiking. A fellow hiker told us that these flowers are edible along with the leaves. I picked some and brought them home.The season for the blooms in the wild is very short and a few weeks later, all the wild blooms on the hill were gone.I did some research on the plant. Practically all the plant (leaves, stem, and flowers) are edible ! So we made a tea from the flowers. Nasturtium flowers are also used on fine culinary dishes to accent the entree or salad. The tea extracted from the flowers has a very light taste with a slightly sweet and floral sent to it as well.I bought these seeds after enjoying the tea and thought I would try to grow them. I planted them about 3/4" deep in shallow pots and kept the soil fairly moist for about 5-7 days before the seeds sprouted to the surface. They grew little leaves first and then within a couple of weeks, the flowers began to appear! Yellow, dark red, orange, yellow-orange, and some with streaks of a combination of these color began to emerge!They appear hardy so far. I have them growing in partial shade beneath the eve of our house on a kitchen shelf outside the window where the late afternoon sun hits them.These a climbing vine type flowers (like morning glories) but so far they are holding up well. They do shed their lower leaves as they grow new ones at the top. The vines are about 1 foot tall and hiking up under their own weight. But I will have to give them something to climb on soon. I think they are too young to transplant and I will wait a few more weeks for the weather to cool off and they get more natural rain.So far, so good!
