The leaves are marbled with creamy white and green, creating a striking contrast that lasts all season. The spurred flowers appear from summer to fall, attracting pollinators and adding a warm glow to beds, borders, and containers. This versatile plant works beautifully as a trailing spiller in hanging baskets or as a colorful ground cover. Both flowers and leaves are edible, with a peppery flavor that makes them a favorite for garnishing salads and dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariegated green and cream foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSalmon-orange, spurred flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEdible flowers and leaves with a peppery taste\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAttracts pollinators like bees and butterflies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrailing habit, ideal for containers and hanging baskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eTropaeolum majus\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, average soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep soil evenly moist\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trailing or mounding, 12–18 inches tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–11 (grown as annual)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer to fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12–18 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow Alaska Salmon Nasturtium seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, or start them indoors 4–6 weeks earlier. Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to soften the hard coat and improve germination. Plant seeds about ½ inch deep in well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 7–14 days. Once established, nasturtiums are relatively low-maintenance and tolerate poor soil, though rich soil may encourage more foliage than flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during dry spells, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming. Nasturtiums are generally pest-resistant and can be grown without chemical sprays. Harvest edible flowers and leaves in the morning for the best flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e50 Alaska Salmon Nasturtium seeds (\u003cem\u003eTropaeolum majus\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824654844214,"sku":"FOLIA2-907","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7434350975_7x1v.jpg?v=1793003950","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/50-alaska-salmon-nasturtium-seeds-tropaeolum-majus-with-salmon-orange-flowers-variegated-foliage","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
