I'm not sure they'll survive outdoors. They don't need cold to bloom.

Nasturtiums are like callas, Zantedeschia aethiopica. They like cool soil, and once the ground heats up, they're outta here. If you have a morning sun, shaded spot and offer regular water, they'll stick around a good long while. We are 25 miles from the coast, at the very edge of the SF Bay fog belt. All the nasturtiums are now yellowed and fading, even in the backyard where two massive trees shade it from 10a onwards. I sow the Alaska variegated and the really dark red nasturtiums every year. They're not as vigorous as the standard variety so they don't return as well. I usually do it around mid-December, when the ground has softened up with some good storms. But a month or so either way doesn't seem to make much difference.

Baptisia is generally benign, well-behaved, doesn't spread or hog the garden. In my experience it simply comes up each year, grows quite large, needs a peony ring or other support to keep it from flopping, isn't bothered by pests and provides elegant early-season blooms. Monarda/bee balm is in the mint family. While I made a conscious decision not to grow it, my neighbor has an impressive patch of it in her garden that is full, thick and covered with bees every year. Her husband keeps bees so it stands to reason her plants are heavily visited throughout the growing season. Mints tend to spread, some more aggressively than others. I'd hesitate to expect either to bloom the first year altho' it's certainly possible the bee balm could produce flowers. IMO, the baptisia blooms are well worth the wait. The baptisia might produce fewer blooms its first year than in subsequent growing seasons.

My experience is that if you got foliage first, you won't get flowers this year. And when I've dug mine up to share, it took a year or two to get flowers. Also, there is no rhyme or reason as to why they bloom some years and not others although once they start, you'll get blooms almost every year. The best thing to do is just ignore them and let them surprise you next year. Most of mine bloomed, but not all of them. I know your frustration. I look forward to seeing them every year and when I only get foliage, I get really bummed.
