Nasturtium - Empress of India (3" peat pot)
Annual. A revered heirloom variety with brilliant scarlet flowers nestled among deep blue-green leaves. Plants form lovely, billowing mounds that are perfect for hanging baskets and planters.
Nasturtiums are an excellent companion for the vegetable garden, attracting pollinators and beneficial insects. They draw pests away from tomato and squash, deter cucumber beetles, and are also particularly beneficial to Brassicas, dill, melons and radishes. They make great underplantings for daylilies and roses. The flowers are entirely edible, with a peppery taste that makes them a unique addition to a summer salad. Plants thrive on neglect. Plant in average, well-draining soil and watch them produce an abundance of cheerful blooms.

Bloom Period: July to September
Height: 12-16”
