Description
Nasturtium Alaska Mix is instantly recognizable by its spectacular, heavily marbled green and creamy-white foliage. Forming a neat, mounded carpet, this highly decorative variety produces a brilliant mix of single, open-faced flowers in shades of yellow, orange, salmon, and deep crimson. It serves as an exceptional double-duty container plant, providing striking architectural leaf patterns before the colourful blooms even begin to open in early summer.
Plant the Alaska Mix in a sun-drenched location using a lean, well-drained potting mix to ensure the foliage dries quickly after rain. Moisture management should be kept strictly on the dry side, as soggy roots will quickly lead to mushy stems and plant collapse. Crucially, you must avoid applying high-nitrogen general fertilizers to this variety, as an excess of nutrients will cause the new leaves to revert to solid green, erasing the beautiful white marbling.
