Notes
'Orange Troika' nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus 'Orange Troika') is an annual for containers, borders, and cottage 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 sits low on the menu for deer. The plant climbs and grows fast, so it fills space quickly. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit it, and it tolerates drought.
Pairs well with African marigold, Cosmos, and Lavender.
