Here's one of my favorite nasturtiums (Tropaeolum majus) called Alaska Mix. The leaves have a marbled variegation that make it striking even when not in bloom.

The leaves tend to be smaller than most varieties, and the habit more bushlike than trailing. It works quite well in containers. I have no idea why it is called Alaska.. perhaps the white is reminiscent of snow.
