I had 1 plant that looked like that last year… This year I’ve mainly been distributing it’s offspring around the garden to avoid a single behemoth!
You can collect and pickle the seeds – good way to keep them a bit more under control!

How many seedlings did you put in? They’re vigorous buggers when they get going but universally loved.

Mine are going mental like this too, it’s awesome. I planted them as a distraction for pests like caterpillars, they prefer this and will leave your other plants alone apparently but I haven’t seen any pests this year.
Also reminder that nasturtiums are edible! The leaves and stems taste kind of like rocket, and the flowers are also edible and are a little sweet.

Aphids and caterpillars always demolish mine.

As a beginner gardener I love nasturtiums. Hardy, easy to grow, and do well in bad soil. You get so much out for so little put in

Every year one end of my flowerbed looked like this. This year, a sole plant further up the bed.

I have a nasturtium growing I planted one 9 years ago but it died but every year one pops up somewhere.

This is great and honestly worth it! All parts are edible too

Magnificent! Don’t worry they’ll all die away in winter.
