Empress of India Nasturtium

4 plants in 4 x 2.5 multi cell pack

This nasturtium has stunning scarlet flowers and dark green leaves. It is a Victorian era heirloom. The plants are compact making them ideal for containers and garden borders. At Wildland Gardens, I grow these in partial shade in the front garden where I can easily admire their beauty. All parts of the plant are edible with a spicy cress flavor.
