variegated nasturtium

Also found these for 1.99 each. They are so cool, the leaves are variegated.

I grow Nasturtium 'Alaska' from seed all the time. I love it in my hanging baskets and window boxes. I love those flowers though. all the ones I plant seem to come out red or orange. Is this 'Alaska'? or is it some new cv.?

Thanks,
Martha

I have them growing around my banana trees and they dont even die back during winter. However, I have never seen them variegated before.

Lisa, those are pretty variegated ones. I have them too in light yellow, dark yellow, and orange. The nice thing is that the seeds do come true so they come back year after year.

Here's another shot:

Oh Clare, those are beautiful.

Clare those are beautiful. Don't nasturiums "peter out" when it gets really hot? where are these planted. I might grow from seed next year. await your comments.

Thanks, Lisa and Nery! Actually, mine usually get a bad case of aphids behind the leaves and on the stems mid-summer, and so I yank them out as soon as I notice the aphids. There are usually seeds left on the ground, and I leave those for the following year. These are planted beneath my roses.

We have pretty hot summers here and they do well ( we get over 100 alot in July and August) - I haven't noticed petering out..... we had an any colony loving them though - they covered the back of the leaves of a couple plants this year.... ugh

You know, I bet the ants are the ones that put the aphids there. Ants are known to farm aphids. I noticed a trail of ants there the other day, and I bet that is what they are doing. Time to get out the Raid!
