Empress of India Nasturtium Seeds (Organic)
Beautiful Mounding Edible Plants and Flowers
Empress of India Nasturtium is a striking heirloom variety celebrated for its deep crimson blooms and compact, bushy growth habit. The vibrant flowers contrast beautifully with the dark green, round leaves, adding a touch of elegance to borders, containers, or garden beds. Thriving in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil, this variety matures in about 50-60 days, providing a season-long display of color. The edible flowers and leaves have a peppery flavor, making them a unique addition to salads, garnishes, or other culinary creations. Empress of India Nasturtium is low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, performing well in poor soils and requiring minimal care. It also attracts beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing your garden’s health and productivity. Whether you’re growing it for its ornamental beauty, edible uses, or pollinator benefits, Empress of India Nasturtium is a delightful and versatile choice for any garden.
