Notes
'Tip Top Mahogany' nasturtium (Tropaeolum minus 'Tip Top Mahogany') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance beds. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It grows about 12 inches tall and wide, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with African marigold, Cosmos, and Sunflower.
