Marbled white and green leaves nasturtium.

They are mottled green and white in color with thin veins. Alaska nasturtium have green and white marbled leaves that contrast nicely with its bright 2 inch yellow orange and crimson blooms. Provide nutrient poor soil for best show as fertile soils promote lush leaves at the expense of flowers. Marbled white and soft green foliage sets off the single cherry red blooms an unusual and coveted shade among nasturtiums which often tend toward scarlet tones.

My nasturtiums planted several weeks ago from seed are several inches high and most of the plants appear healthy except for several that have largish 1 1 1 2 white or cream color blotches on the leaves almost resembling bleach marks. Add to this vivid multicoloured blooms flowering above the foliage and an unforgettable sight is produced. Variegated naturtium leaves are fragrant with a mustard like scent. They grow in lush clusters and are small and delicate reaching around 15 centimeters in diameter.

The leaves are conspicuously marbled in green and white and in themselves produce a very attractive plant. Flowers summer to frost.
