Notes
'Tip Top Alaska Red' nasturtium (Tropaeolum minus 'Tip Top Alaska Red') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance beds. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms. Deer tend to pass it by. Once settled in, it tolerates dry spells.
Pairs well with Sunflower, African marigold, Cosmos, and Lavender.
