A More Compact, Dark-Leafed Empress of India!
Nasturtium 'Princess of India'
The best Nasturtium for windowboxes, baskets, and flowerpots.
Very fast-growing.
A compact, dark-leafed Empress of India, this lovely new variety is the best for containers of all types! Just a foot long, it is covered in brilliant 2-inch scarlet blooms over a long summer and fall season, and grows very quickly indoors or out!
Empress of India has been "the" classic Nasturtium for many years, thanks to its quick, trouble-free growth and free-flowering habit. Now Princess of India has come along to steal the title! The flowers are set more closely together, and the dark foliage adds a fascinating accent to hanging baskets, windowboxes, and flowerpots. You must try this sturdy little newcomer!
Nasturtium is easy to grow from seed. Nick or soak the seeds before sowing. Then direct-sow into the garden or the final container in which they will grow. Place in full sun, and watch them take off! Pkt is 20 seeds.
