What a fantastic review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your Single Blend Trailing Nasturtium Seeds grew into such strong plants and are creating that beautiful cascading effect spilling over your deck!
There's something so magical about trailing nasturtiums when they really hit their stride, isn't there? That vigorous growth you're experiencing is exactly what makes these flowers such showstoppers - they have this wonderful way of gracefully tumbling and flowing over edges to create those gorgeous natural curtains of color and foliage. Your deck must look absolutely stunning with that lush, trailing display!
We love that you're getting to experience the full beauty of what these nasturtiums can do when they're happy and thriving. The strength and vigor you're seeing really speaks to how well-suited these flowers are for container growing and elevated plantings. There's something so satisfying about watching them establish themselves and then just take off with that abundant, spilling growth that transforms a space.
Your experience perfectly captures why trailing nasturtiums are such a beloved choice for deck gardening - they deliver that dramatic visual impact while being such strong, reliable performers. The way they cascade and flow really adds such beautiful dimension and movement to any outdoor space!
Thank you so much for sharing such a delightful review about your gorgeous deck display!
Keep on growing 🌻️

This was my first time starting a flower from seed and I wasn't sure what to expect. I was nervous nothing was going to happen and then they started popping out flowers about mid-June and then just took off! It had a healthy life all the way through mid-October where I live in Southern New England, constantly putting out new blooms. I'm excited to plant more again this summer!
