Notes
'Ladybird Cream Purple Spot' nasturtium (Tropaeolum minus 'Ladybird Cream Purple Spot') is an annual for borders, containers, and ground cover. 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. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows about 12 inches tall and wide and tolerates drought. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Cosmos, African marigold, and Sunflower.
