Nasturtium 'Tip Top Alaska Red', Dwarf Nasturtium 'Tip Top Alaska Red'
Tropaeolum minus ‘Tip Top Alaska Red’ (Nasturtium) is a compact, bushy annual or short-lived perennial forming a small mound of rounded, parasol-like, variegated leaves. Blooming from winter through spring in mild winter areas and from summer to fall in colder climates, it boasts a profusion of long-stalked, funnel-shaped, bright cherry-red flowers. The blossoms float above the foliage and make a fantastic contrast to the soft green foliage mottled with creamy white. This petite Nasturtium is ideal for containers and small space gardens.
