Notes
'Kaleidoscope Mix' nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus 'Kaleidoscope Mix') is an annual for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It climbs fast, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the fragrant red, orange, and yellow blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer. Birds visit too.
Pairs well with Easy Wave Red petunia, ProCut Plum sunflower, and Red fescue.
