The rounded green leaves are marbled with creamy white, giving the plant interest even before the blooms open. This old-fashioned variety brings a bright, cottage-garden look to beds, borders, and containers, and its trailing habit makes it a natural choice for spilling over the edges of pots and window boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNasturtiums are easy to grow from seed and are often used as a colorful edging plant or a fast filler in mixed plantings. The vivid red flowers stand out against the marbled leaves and appear over a long season in mild weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScarlet-red, spurred flowers held above the foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariegated green and cream leaves for season-long interest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, mounding to slightly trailing growth habit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWell suited to borders, containers, and hanging baskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy annual grown from seed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tropaeolum majus\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 Average, well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep soil evenly moist but not soggy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact, mounding to trailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer into fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 12 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow Alaska Scarlet Nasturtium seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, or start them indoors a few weeks earlier in individual pots. Plant seeds about 1\/2 inch deep in moist, well-drained soil. Nasturtiums generally germinate best in moderate temperatures and can be slow to sprout, so keep the soil consistently moist and be patient. Once seedlings are established, thin or transplant them to about 12 inches apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun for the heaviest flowering, though plants tolerate some afternoon shade. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overwatering and heavy feeding, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of blooms. Remove spent flowers to encourage continued flowering through the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 Alaska Scarlet Nasturtium seeds (Tropaeolum majus).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795517899062,"sku":"FOLIA2-194","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7434378081_mmkd.jpg?v=1792670944","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/50-alaska-scarlet-nasturtium-seeds-tropaeolum-majus-red-flowers-variegated-foliage","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
