Growing Nasturtiums - An Edible, Easy-to-Grow Cool Season Flower

Wild nasturtiums suddenly popped up in a patch of very poor soil on our neighbor's front yard that I have literally never seen get watered. They are thriving! The abundant red-orange flowers are just gorgeous! A patch of beauty in an otherwise completely neglected yard.

she said they're so yummy and her face looked like these are nasty!

Which is mildest flavor and smell.

Growing nasturtiums for the 1st time this spring/summer. Didn't realize dont like heat. So here in MI getting to 80s regularly soon then 90s. Not sure if they still grow not as much. Or do they completely stop growing & die in hot weather?? Next thing to look up. Variety is red & yellow flowers separate not in 1 flower. They are beautiful. Bought it to add flowers. Also to try to eat since edible. Haven't yet so dont know if i like it. Thanks for info 😁❤

How do you get them full? Do they need to be deadheaded?

Do you really need to nip seed and put in water before puttin in soil?

last year I planted mine too late in the season, and it got destroyed by aphids... this year I started them early may (and surrounded them by marigolds so hopefully that scares away the aphids) and they're already growing like crazy!! I love this flower, great video

Hi Kim should I soak the seeds first before planting? I’ve tried just planting direct but they never seem to germinate and I desperately want to have them in my garden for attracting the pollinators

My first time growing. I didn’t realize they were for cool weather. I am in zone 8, hot summers, so I realize not all my plants will die😢. What can I do to save them??

Hi I will sow nasturtium tomorrow around my fencing ..thanks for video. I will keep seeds and eat flowers and leaves😊

Planted some jewel mix and orchid cream - ty for all your help 👍

I direct-seeded Nasturtiums in my raised beds (3' high) and in the ground with the cucumbers, last year. None of the ones in the raised beds came up. Five or six struggled in the ground and didn't get much bigger than a small potted plant. They looked ill. Not at all happy (likely due to the heat). This year, one Nasturtiums seed from last year sprouted in the raised bed; it has cascaded over the side of the bed and is creeping along the ground now. The sickly ones in the ground came back (after appearing to have died off???), and they look much happier now...trellis-worthy. In my flower-ignorance, I'd never planted them before and expected they'd likely not get any larger than say a one-gallon pot -- contained, like you see in the nurseries. Imagine my surprise! Note to self: raised beds may not be the best place for Nasturtiums, especially if you intend to use the bed for veggies because they take over the space. Question: Are Nasturtiums supposed to come back every year? How are they to be maintained between seasons - cut back, leave them alone, water, don't water, etc.? Thank you.

The dried seeds look like little brains😂. They grow well in Montana zone 4b.

I just bought some seeds and I hope they come up. There so pretty ❤️

Thanks for information! I think I will put them in my garden. Alot of benefits!

Don't they take over the garden?

So you probably said this and I missed it, but what kind of light do they need?

boo so in south FL they will not do good at all

Grew nasturtiums for the first time this year, completely blown away by how great they turned out, ready to try the other varieties.

In tucson, az, I plant nasturtium in October, or November. When the weather drops below 90. It grows all winter!

love nasturtiums !!!! Can you eat the flower without also eating potential seed ?

Can these be grown in the fall in southern climates?

I have a question about the seed. Can I pick them up when they are green as you show in the video or should I wait until they brown ?

most likely good for the liver because of the color

Cabbage white butterflies seem to like to flock to it.

I have 8 hanging baskets of jewel mix. they are gorgeous, but....I"m in the northeast and we just hit over 90 degrees today. I did pretty good with them last year in containers....in the heat....

Will they climb up a fence?

If you can grill weeds you can grow nasturtiums

Rebuilding the cutting garden and figuring where to place my nasturtiums. Hoping spring is slow so I can actually enjoy them. I have a few plants from the greenhouse so I am fingers crossed that also gives me more time

I do same walking

can this flower be grown in fall, as I am in Texas not sure if it's the right time to grow them? Pls help

Well, darn. I'm in Texas and I just planted a large amount of these. We just went from 50's to the 80's in the blink of an eye. I'm guessing I probably won't get to see any of them bloom. They're all just a spindly stem with one leaf on the top.

Just what I needed to know, and as a bonus your enthusiasm reached my happy place > > yes started clapping at the laptop! ✍))

Finally some valuable information .
I always showed indoors and planted in full sun .
No wonder I've had no success with these

Oh darn. I planted some yesterday. I’m in Texas. I probably should have started them a lot sooner. Bummer.

Lovely. I have a spot that needs some color. I'm planting coral peonies. Maybe nasturtium and California poppy would pop behind it.

Cool 😎

Yes I have a beautiful bed filled with them

I adore them , 🤩

Beautiful gracias

I take coffee walks every morning too!

Trying to find info on growing them up a wall similar to ivy. Area has not much sun. Is that possible?

As soon as she said “they thrive on neglect” I felt that in a spiritual way 😂

Glad i saw this. first time growing them and the temps hit 100 inthe patio and i had to keep cutting wilted leaves. no matter what i did they where unhappy.

Kim I have been following you for couple videos. I don’t know but I always give u like 👍 I have PayPal money card. Will you accept buy pay from PayPal? 👍 I need a price check on package of flower seeds of martini I’m please!I have good some money remain on PayPal of credit cash card from rite aid

Great video you did justice to the flowers very positive- I like that 👌

I’m doing them right now in a huge bowl to put on my patio. Can’t wait to see these baby’s pop! I have yellow red & white 🤗

I planted mine in the Spring. They're going to fade out in the summer? How can I get around this so that they live

How can that be good? And who figured out that they are edible??
