Empress of India Nasturtium 25 Seeds – Deep Red Edible Flowers

Introduction Empress of India Nasturtium (Tropaeolum nanum) is a striking annual celebrated for its deep red, edible blooms and vibrant green foliage. Perfect for garden beds, containers, trellises, and borders, this variety attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies while adding dramatic color to any garden setting. Its trailing or bushy habit, combined with edible flowers and leaves, makes it both ornamental and functional for culinary use. Seed Sowing Instructions Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost or start indoors 4–6 weeks before transplanting. Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep in moist, well-drained soil. Keep soil consistently moist until germination, which usually occurs within 7–14 days. Space seedlings 10–12 inches apart to allow for proper growth and airflow. Ideal for container planting, borders, or cascading over trellises. Plant Care Instructions Empress of India Nasturtiums prefer full sun but tolerate partial shade. Water moderately, letting soil dry slightly between waterings. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming or leave some to self-seed. Its trailing or bushy growth habit makes it perfect for borders, container gardens, hanging baskets, and pollinator-friendly plantings.
