OSC Seeds Nasturtium Empress of India Pkg.

Approximately 25 seeds/package (6 seeds/gram)

This wonderful nasturtium has brilliant, crimson-red flowers 5-7.5 cm across. With its low growth habit of only 30-40 cm, Empress of India makes a great border plant. The flowers are a sure-fire hummingbird magnet.

As nasturtiums resent transplanting, directly sow seeds into well-drained soil in late May, 2.5 cm deep and 5 cm apart, thinning seedlings to 20 cm apart. Seeds generally germinate within 12 days. Full sun is preferred. Partial shade is recommended in hot summer areas. Blooms have a peppery taste and are quite popular as a salad garnish. We recommend removing spent flowers to help lengthen the blooming period.
