Notes
'Peach Melba' nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus 'Peach Melba') is an annual for containers, borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. 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. It climbs fast, and butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit it. It tolerates drought. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Sunflower, Cosmos, and African marigold.
