Nasturtiums Empress of India Seed

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 colour 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 favourite for garnishing green or seafood salads, chopped and mixed with cream cheese or added to rice dishes.
