Nasturtiums are easy to grow, vigorous annuals with large disc-shaped leaves that smell like capers and bright flowers from mid-summer onwards. They’re a magnet for bees and can be used to lure small and large white butterflies away from brassica crops. Tropaeolum majus ‘Empress of India’ is a non-trailing nasturtium, bearing deep red, semi-double flowers in contrast with purple-green leaves.

The flowers and leaves can be eaten in salads and the immature seeds pickled and used like capers. Discover recipes that make use of nasturtiums from our friends at olive magazine:

Deep blue-green leaves set off the sizzling, 2½-in. scarlet-orange blooms. Compact, rounded plants are perfect for hanging baskets and mixed plantings. 10 to 12-in. Hardy Annual.

Grow Tropaeolum majus ‘Empress of India’ in well-drained soil in full sun. Sow seed direct from mid-spring.

If I could give 10 STARS I would. It took a week for the item to ship, but once it was sent I got it within days and the seller kindly included several unexpected little seed packet gifts. So excited! I will update my review when I actually have blooming plants. :)
