Seeds sprout in just 7 to 14 days and reach full bloom in 70 to 84 days, rewarding quick work with weeks of continuous color. Deer leave it alone, and pollinators seek it out eagerly, making it a vibrant addition to any garden that needs summer-to-fall brightness without fussy care.

From seed to first flowers in just 70 to 84 days, this nasturtium fills the garden fast with reliable blooms that stretch from June straight through November in many regions. It thrives on neglect once established, tolerating drought and poor soil while actively repelling deer, so you get color and pollinator activity without the constant maintenance other annuals demand. A second sowing in mid-July extends the show into autumn, especially valuable where fall frosts arrive late.
Nasturtiums are grown primarily for their cheerful, ornamental flowers, which bloom continuously throughout summer and fall. Beyond visual appeal, the flowers attract pollinators like bees and beneficial insects to the garden, supporting broader garden health and productivity.
