Exciting news! The last nasturtium AAS Winner was back in the early days, in the 1930s. Now it’s time to introduce a wonderful rose-colored nasturtium perfect for today’s gardens. Baby Rose is a petite-flowered, mounding variety with healthy, dark foliage ideal for containers and small space gardens. AAS’ expert judges praised the uniformly compact plants that sported flowers with consistent coloration. Their compact habit means less “flower flopping” with their blooms remaining upright throughout the season. The rose color is uncommon in nasturtiums and contrasts beautifully with the dark-green foliage. Bonus: both the leaves and flowers are edible!
Baby Rose is also the recipient of the Fleuroselect Gold Medal award for performance in European trials.
