Notes
'Tip Top Alaska Salmon' nasturtium (Tropaeolum minus 'Tip Top Alaska Salmon') is an annual for borders, containers, and ground cover. 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. It spreads about 12 inches and tolerates drought. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Blooms open from early to late summer and again in autumn, and they draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.
Pairs well with Cosmos, African marigold, and Lavender.
