Will they do any harm to the pond MG?

Not really, Great, but the leaves may well rot in the water. Which nasturtiums did you buy? Were they climbers or trailers or one of the small, bushy varieties like Alaska mixed or Empress of India?

ive never known nasturtiums grown in a pond and ive lived in the countryside for the last 48 years.
Perhaps they got confused with water lilies (ie the leaves)
