Notes
'Tip Top Alaska' nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus 'Tip Top Alaska') is an annual for borders, containers, 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 grows as a rapid, bushy mound and has fragrant blooms. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Easy Wave Violet petunia, ProCut White Lite sunflower, and Snowflake moss phlox.
