Nasturtium Bloom Time: Patience and Proper Watering for Flowers

Nasturtiums bloom 35–80 days after germination, depending on variety and weather. Cool, wet summers delay flowering. Don’t overwater—excess moisture invites Botrytis (gray mold) which kills seedlings overnight. Check seed packet for expected days to bloom.
