Care and proper area to plant nasturtiums.
This article should help with that: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/nasturtium/growing-nasturtiums.htm
I have Nasturtiums that have gone invasive and spreading all over the backyard planters and part of the lawn. Pulling them out doesn't work. Is there any way to kill them without harming the other plants? The small area of grass affected is OK to kill. I'll replant that section. I live in San Clemente, CA.
You may want to try spot treating the nasturtiums with Round-up. If chemical warfare is not your thing, you can also spot treat the invaders with boiling water or white vinegar. Be sure to target just these plants, as all of these methods can kill anything they come into contact with. Don't do it when it's windy and, if necessary, you can shield other plants by covering them up temporarily with a sheet or something while treating and for about an hour or two afterward.
What to do? My nasturtiums have some curling leaves that are dying. Leaves get yellowish spots. Does not seem to b the whole plant.
Yellowing leaves can just be the natural aging of the plant.
It also could be watering, either to much or too little. Either extreme can cause the deterioration of the plant.
Inspect the plant for signs of aphids or other insects. A treatment of Neem Oil can be used if you find evidence of infestation.

All my nasturtiums have yellow leaves. Some are in the garden and the others are in containers. The leaves are also small. I don't think I am watering too much!

It has been over two weeks and most of my nasturtiums had not sprouted. I planted them in a egg carton with potting soil. I dug one out and found 10 or so thin hair like worms eating the seed. I dug a few more and found the same situation. Grossed out I threw the tray away. They are so small it was hard getting a picture but you can see a few on the seed. They are so small they looked like roots. What are they? How did they get there and how can I get rid of them? Are these parasites? Thank you for your help.
Yes, it is difficult to see from this image.
It is possible that the seeds were contaminated or the soil.
Always use sterile soilless mix for seed starting.
You can help the germination of Nasturtium seeds by soaking overnight or nicking the seeds prior to planting.

I've just bought a nasturtium and was wondering when it will produce flowers? I've never grown them before so have no experience with them. Any info would be appreciated.
The bloom time for nasturtium is mid summer through fall.
