Notes
'Glorious Gleam' nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus 'Glorious Gleam') is an annual for containers, borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It is a fast-growing climber with fragrant flowers that bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit. Deer rarely make it their first choice. This heirloom type also tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Easy Wave Red petunia, ProCut Plum sunflower, and Red fescue.
