Nasturtium Alaska Salmon variegated - seed
Nasturtiums are really easy to grow with big seeds even little bubs can handle, and they pop up in as little as 10 weeks giving you fast vibrant colour. They can grow in hot sun and dry poor soil too, which makes them very useful for our gardens.
Alaska nasturtiums have the added beauty of cream splashed and patterned leaves, which provide the perfect contrast to bright fruity orange flowers. You can also eat the leaves and flowers in salads!
