The Nasturtium Alaska Mix is a striking variety that delivers vibrant garden colour from June through to September, making it one of the most rewarding choices for a long-lasting seasonal display. What sets this variety apart is its decorative variegated foliage – the leaves themselves carry bold, creamy-white marbling that provides visual interest well beyond the blooms. When the flowers appear in assorted colours spanning rich reds, bright yellows, and warm oranges, the contrast between the blooms and the patterned foliage creates an eye-catching display that few other annual flowers can match. Holding an RHS Award of Garden Merit, this variety has been independently recognised for its trusted garden performance, offering reassurance that it will deliver consistent, reliable results season after season. Sowing can begin from March through to June, giving gardeners a flexible planting window that suits both early starters and those working around unpredictable spring weather. Suitable for all soil types, these seeds are an easy-to-grow choice that requires no specialist preparation or conditions – simply sow, water, and allow the plants to establish at their own pace.

This mixed nasturtium variety suits borders, beds, containers, and cottage-style gardens equally well, slotting into almost any planting scheme with minimal effort. The trailing and mounding habit makes it particularly useful for softening the edges of raised beds or spilling over the sides of pots and window boxes. Beyond its ornamental value, nasturtium flowers and leaves are edible, adding a peppery note to salads and summer dishes. For gardeners wanting bold colour without complexity, this variety delivers dependable results with straightforward care – sow direct into the ground or into containers from March onwards and expect a vivid, continuous display well into autumn.
