Notes
'Salad' nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus 'Salad') is an annual for containers, borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. 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. It climbs at a rapid rate, and the fragrant blooms attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Tidal Wave Purple petunia, Red fescue, and Double Click Rose Bon Bon cosmos.
