‘Aloha Mix’ Hummingbird Nasturtium Seeds

Aloha Mix paints with the soft colors of an island morning: apricot, cream, pale yellow, and rose. Round, lily-pad leaves set off the blossoms, and the low mounding plants drape gently over the edges of beds, pots, and window boxes.

Every part of the display feels generous. Hummingbirds visit the flowers, while gardeners can gather the peppery leaves and blossoms for salads and sandwiches. A single packet makes an easy tapestry with both ornamental and edible appeal.
