Dwarf Nasturtium - Alaska - Tropaeolum majus - Lively garden colour - Fresh Seeds

The Alaska dwarf nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) is a unique annual plant that combines natural charm with extraordinary decorative value. It forms clumps up to 40 cm in height, abundantly covered with shield-shaped leaves featuring a beautiful marble pattern in shades of green and white. These leaves give the plant a unique character, attracting the eye even before the first flowers appear. When it blooms, however, it delights with a wealth of colours, ranging from intense red, through warm shades of orange, to delicate yellows. Its flowers not only beautify flower beds and balconies but also have a delicate scent, attracting bees, bumblebees, and butterflies that enliven the garden with their movement. It works perfectly in home gardens, on borders, and in balcony boxes. Apart from its ornamental value, the flowers, leaves, and young fruit are edible, adding a slightly spicy taste to salads or desserts.

Sowing depth

Seeds of the Alaska dwarf nasturtium should be sown at a depth of 3 to 4 cm. This is the optimal value that ensures stable conditions for germination and even emergence.

Sowing time for direct sowing

The best time for sowing is May, when the soil is already well warmed and the risk of night frosts has passed completely. Plants sown during this period develop quickly and bloom abundantly throughout the summer.

Spacing

During sowing, it is worth maintaining a spacing of approximately 40 x 40 cm. Thanks to this, every plant has space for free growth, lush branching, and the production of many colourful flowers.

Flowering time

The Alaska dwarf nasturtium blooms continuously from June to October. This means several months of colourful, lively accents in the garden or on the balcony, lasting until the first cold spells.

Cultivation

This is one of the least demanding ornamental plants. It grows best in moderately fertile, permeable, and moderately moist soil. It likes the sun but also tolerates light partial shade well. The Alaska variety also works great in container cultivation; in pots, boxes, or hanging baskets, it creates cascades of colourful flowers. It is an ideal proposition for people who value beauty, simplicity, and a quick decorative effect without the need for complicated care.
