Nasturtium, Antique 'Empress of India'

Sun Exposure: full sun, partial shadeFlower Color: redLevel of Care: easy

These easy to grow heirloom flowers with their unique deep blue-green foliage and vermilion red blossoms have graced gardens for hundreds of years. Their glowing color attracts hummingbirds who love to visit the long-spurred blossoms. As a wonderful bonus, both the bright flowers and leaves are deliciously edible with a spicy watercress-like taste. Empress is my favorite for garnishing green or seafood salads, chopped and mixed with cream cheese, or added to rice dishes. Each packet contains approximately 30 seeds.
