Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus Empress of India) - This classic nasturtium has dark blue-green foliage and brilliant crimson flowers on 12 - 14 inch mounded plants. This variety has been grown in the United States since the 1890s, and today it is perfect for everyone’s favorite contemporary gardening method: containers. Empress of India Nasturtium, is a stunning garden accent. Beyond the garden, the edible flowers and leaves can add style and color to plates as a garnishment or as a peppery addition to salads and pastas.
Nasturtium is easy to grow from seed. Nick or soak the seeds before sowing. Then direct sow into the garden or the final container in which they will grow, or start them indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last anticipated spring frost in your area. Expect germination to take a week or so. The Nasturtium plants need full sun for best flowering; they will grow in part shade, but the blooms will not be as numerous or large. Poor soil often works better than rich for promoting bloom strength.
