Nasturtium Tip Top Rose

2020 AAS Flower Winner

Tip Top Rose is a strong yet compact nasturtium with unique and showy rose-colored flowers showcased above medium green foliage. These 14×18” mounded plants were more floriferous than the comparisons varieties in the AAS trials, producing a bigger and better garden show. The uniquely colored flowers are a great addition to the nasturtium family especially since they don’t fade as they age. Judges described the color as “a warm, bright rose with less of the black undertones typical in nasturtium flowers.” Tip Top Rose remained healthy throughout the season. It makes a great winter annual in warmer climates and a spring annual in other areas, whether used in containers or in the landscape. The whole plant stayed uniform and healthy whereas other varieties struggled.  Bonus: This nasturtium is great for pollinator gardens and both the leaves and flowers are edible!

JUDGE'S OBSERVATIONS

  • “Tidier plant habit than Cherry Rose.”
  • “Nice uniformity, good healthy color. Blooms are held above foliage as clamied. The whole plot looks really good whereas other varieties have struggled.”
  • “The bloom color was a very interesting and unique pink. This plant would work for container plantings, as a ground cover and for novelty gardeners. It is also excellent for pollinator friendly gardeners.”
  • “This entry DID hold blooms above the foliage, which is novel in nasturtiums.”
  • “Entry continued uniform compact habit throughout growing season.”
