Notes
'Ladybird Gold' nasturtium (Tropaeolum minus 'Ladybird Gold') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance beds. 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 grows about 12 inches tall and wide. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit it, and it tolerates drought. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It blooms in summer and again in autumn.
Pairs well with African marigold, Cosmos, and Sunflower.
