Empress of India Nasturtium seeds

The Empress of India nasturtium is a striking heirloom variety that brings a touch of Victorian elegance to the modern garden. Renowned for its dramatic contrast, this compact, mounded plant features lily-pad-shaped leaves in a deep, dusky blue-green that perfectly sets off its brilliant, velvety crimson-scarlet blooms. Reaching only about 10-12 inches in height, it is an ideal choice for borders, containers, or path edges where its vibrant color can be appreciated up close. Beyond its ornamental beauty, the entire plant is edible, offering a pleasant peppery bite to salads and garnishes, while acting as a hardworking companion plant that draws pollinators and helps deter common garden pests.
