Nasturtium prefers a full sun location but will tolerate some light shade with flowering reduced. Average well-drained soil produces the best growth, fertilize sparingly for more flowers. Keep plants well watered as this helps to moderate the spiciness of the leaves and flowers. If plants show signs of decline or become leggy during the summer, cut them back lightly and they will produce new growth for the remainder of the season.
