Growing Empress of India Heirloom Nasturtium

‘Empress of India’ is an heirloom, open-pollinated nasturtium prized for its dramatic foliage, fiery blooms, and compact growth habit. Deep blue-green leaves provide a striking backdrop for scarlet-orange flowers, creating a bold contrast on neat, rounded plants.

Plant ‘Empress of India’ seeds about ½ to 1 inch deep and space plants 10 to 12 inches apart. Grow in full sun to partial shade. Germination typically takes 7 to 14 days. Its compact habit makes this variety especially well suited to smaller gardens, and it is also noted for good disease resistance.

Ready to bloom in about 60 days, enjoy the flowers as they open and reach their best display stage. The rounded plants create a full, colorful presentation without requiring a large amount of garden space.

Bold, compact, and colorful, ‘Empress of India’ is an excellent choice for hanging baskets, containers, borders, mixed plantings, and ornamental beds.
