    Customer photo review of Nasturtium Seeds - Spitfire

    It’s hard to believe these can reach 78”, as mine have been hovering at only ~6’ long for over a month. (I’m following the growing suggestions; maybe they’ll shoot up dramatically soon.) They’ve had their stems and leaves for weeks, but no sign of blooms yet. Hoping they’ll proliferate and darken over the weeks… (Don’t panic if you forget to soak the seeds as instructed. Nasturtiums are wily and will find a way to grow! )

    I soaked the seeds but they didn't all sprout. It grew slowing in a large pot. I gave up on watering. I prefer planting in the soil.
