Is it too late for nasturtium seeds
in Plants
Hey all
At the start of the month I realised I hadn’t put much effort into flowers this year (focussed on veg) so I looked through the Marshalls website for seeds that could be started in June. I ordered some nasturtium seeds but they aren’t here yet.
My query today is that the nasturtium seeds say to sow outdoors until June. With July nearly here, and the seeds not arrived, am I likely to see flowers from the nasturtiums this year if I plant them in the last few days of June, or shall I leave them for this year?
Below is the advertised growing calendar


Thanks!

Might be worth sowing some and keeping the rest for next year.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
My self seeders only popped up recently. With any luck they'll last until October.

I'd have thought it's a bit late for those too, but no harm in having a go. I'd think the later sowings would flower next year though. It seems odd that they're saying to sow in July August etc. May would be about the latest you'd sow for flowers this year.
I don't grow stocks, so can't advise on them.
