If you’re searching for a flower that combines elegance, versatility, and flavor, look no further than Nasturtium Seeds ‘Melba Peach’. This stunning nasturtium variety produces soft peach petals with a warm, orange-red center — a combination that brings gentle romance and warmth to any garden space.

Beloved for their easy care, edible qualities, and ability to thrive in less-than-perfect soils, nasturtiums are a top choice for beginner and seasoned gardeners alike. They bloom continuously from summer through the first frost, providing a reliable source of color and charm.


Why Choose Nasturtium ‘Melba Peach’?

  • Elegant Color Palette – Soft peach petals with glowing warm centers.

  • Edible Beauty – Flowers and leaves add a peppery zest to salads and appetizers.

  • Easy to Grow – Thrives in average to poor soils with minimal care.

  • Versatile Growth Habit – Works beautifully in garden beds, hanging baskets, and containers.

  • Beneficial in the Garden – Acts as a natural companion plant, deterring pests and attracting pollinators.


How to Grow Nasturtium ‘Melba Peach’

  1. Direct Sowing – Nasturtiums prefer being sown directly outdoors after the last frost, though you can start them indoors 2–3 weeks early if desired.

  2. Soil Requirements – Performs best in well-drained, moderately fertile to poor soil. Too much nitrogen can lead to excess foliage and fewer blooms.

  3. Light Needs – Full sun encourages the most prolific flowering, though partial shade is tolerated.

  4. Spacing – Plant seeds 10–12 inches apart to allow room for trailing growth.

  5. Watering – Water moderately; nasturtiums are drought-tolerant once established.


Design & Culinary Inspiration

  • Cascading Baskets & Window Boxes – Allow vines to trail for a soft, flowing effect.

  • Garden Borders & Pathways – Frame walkways with peach-toned blooms.

  • Edible Displays – Use flowers to decorate cakes, salads, and charcuterie boards.

  • Cottage Gardens – Pair with other pastel blooms for a timeless, romantic look.


Perfect Pairing for Bold Contrast

For a stunning display, plant Nasturtium ‘Melba Peach’ alongside deep-toned blooms like Dahlia Black Forest™ Ruby. The rich ruby red of the dahlia creates a dramatic contrast against the soft peach nasturtiums, adding depth and visual intrigue to any garden.
