description for "Nasturtiums: Tropaeolum majus 'Empress of India'"
Small dark blue-green leaves and smoldering dark scarlet flowers make a striking contrast on this Victorian era heirloom. It grows in a neat mound to 1 foot tall making it suitable for containers and garden edging. The flowers and leaves have a peppery taste that spices up salads, vegetable and pasta dishes. A cool climate flower.
