Notes

'Tall Single' nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus 'Tall Single') is an annual vine for borders, containers, 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 grows fast and has fragrant blooms. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit it.

Pairs well with Easy Wave Violet petunia, ProCut Plum sunflower, and Snowflake moss phlox.
