Don't think I spelt them right, but mine have grown quite high in my trough but
although they have lots of leaves - no flowers? Should I cut off the leaves and eat them in salads or what?

You mustn't feed them or you will get all green and no flowers, they thrive in poor soil. You can eat the leaves, very peppery.
Mine are slow burners this year, I planted them rather late but hopefully they will have lots of flowers on them by the end of July.
thanks lyn, darn that, I will make sure I don't feed them next season.
Are your Nasturtiums the climbing type? Might need something to climb to stimulate flowering.
sorry no Invicta2, they are the common everyday variety
Oops! I've fed mine as well - loads of foliage, no sign of flowers yet but I sowed late as well so hoping for an outbreak soon!
mine have been slow to flower too but once they got going they havent stopped, and the leaves are lovely in a salad x
