Notes
'Ladybird Rose' nasturtium (Tropaeolum minus 'Ladybird Rose') is an annual for borders, containers, and ground cover. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It is drought tolerant, so it needs little fuss. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit its blooms.
Pairs well with African marigold, Cosmos, and Sunflower.
