Are you growing nasturtiums in New Jersey, but don’t know when they’ll bloom?

When Do Nasturtiums Bloom in New Jersey?
As you may have already guessed, there are two main factors that determine when nasturtiums will bloom: where your nasturtiums are planted & weather (time).
Bloom Time Depends on Where Your Nasturtiums Are Planted!!!
When your nasturtium will bloom will depend on exactly where it is planted in your yard or garden
In general, expect the following:
- If a nasturtium is planted in an area of your yard that receives full sun it will bloom around the same time every year or up to two weeks early due to warm weather and extra sunlight.
- If a nasturtium is planted in an area of your yard that received partial sun it will bloom around the same time every year.
- If a nasturtium is planted in an area of your yard that receives shade and is not protected from wind or rain it will bloom anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks later than its average time.
