Alaska Gold nasturtium (Tropaeolum nanum) is a vibrant addition to gardens, with its golden-yellow blooms and variegated foliage adding a splash of color to beds, borders, and containers. Its compact, mounding habit makes it ideal for edging, rock gardens, or as a ground cover, while its edible flowers and leaves offer a peppery flavor for salads and garnishes. This annual attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing biodiversity, and serves as a companion plant in vegetable gardens to deter pests.
