Default nasturtium

I have a pot of Alaskan Mix and Peach Melba nasturtium on the deck. Full
sun, has had one dose of Miracle Grow, but... many leaves are turning brown
and so far not a single bud.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!


Feeding them.. Nastie's like a poor well drained soil (tho adquate
water) Could be they are getting too hot during midday, though they do
ususally like sun.

Be patient with the flowers.. I've never known an annual like nasties to
not try and flower once day length reduces.

It is normal for some of the leaves to wilt and go yellow/brown in
stress conditions or until well extablished, particularly with cultivars
(they lose some vigour through breeding)
