This plant is said to be a climber and also to trail over walls, etc. so far it has not done much of either. The weather has been 90+ and wetter than usual and due to watering new sod, I may have over-watered it. The plants at south end of the row have grown better than at the north end even though no significant difference in exposure exists, only about two-thirds of the seeds germinated, the center ones mostly did not germinate.
Only the plants at the south end have blossomed. This is my first experience with nasturtiums so I hesitate to say it is not my fault. Planted 5/7/09, today is 7/21/09.
