Notes

'Tip Top Rose' nasturtium (Tropaeolum minus 'Tip Top Rose') 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. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms, and it tolerates drought. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Flowers appear from early to late summer.

Pairs well with Cosmos, African marigold, and Lavender.
