As title said...bl**dy wind has snapped plants at base (right level with soil) ...a few leaves still poking out on one plant-not the other 2...do you think it'll re-grow & flower? Flowers only been out a week & look SO nice!!!

If there are no leaves left it is unlikely it will regrow, still time just to sow seeds thoughNumerus non sum0

Your nasturtium will be OK. In fact it will probably be better!
It's rather like 'pinching out' the growing tip (except it was a bit more violent than that
). Pinching out is a good way of making a creeping plant grow more side shoots.
And that's what will happen to yours! You'll get a lot of new shoots very soon, as long as there's no damage to the root.
Firm it into its pot, water it and talk nicely to him!
