Nasturtium - Empress of India

Tropaeolum majus nanum

A colorful bush nasturtium with beautiful red flowers and dark green-violet foliage. A fast-growing and blooming variety originating from the Andes in South America. The variety is incredibly beautiful in pots, urns, or in beds with its lovely bushy appearance.

Both the leaves and flowers are edible and have a slightly peppery but appetizing taste that is excellent in salads or as an elegant garnish. Imagine a dill waffle with cold-smoked salmon, tangy fennel, sour cream, red onion, and grated cheese. Topped with a fabulous flower in a beautiful red shade from Empress of India with a peppery flavor. Magical!
