Nasturtium snapped off at the ground!

13 years ago

Hi All,

Weather here in Lynchburg, VA has been pretty bipolar lately. I finally got buds and a flower on the Nasturtiums I grew from seed for this season--looking gorgeous! Came out of the house this morning to find two plants sheared off at the ground by high winds. Bah! One of them had just formed a mature bud, which, of course, opened beautifully this morning--a bittersweet discovery.

I didn't realize the "bush type" needed staking. Do they? Or is this just crummy weather and terrible luck? The other ones I planted out are just fine, but they weren't quite as bushy yet either (I used Ferry-Morse 'Jewelbox' mix seeds).
