Empress of India

It wasn't imagination that this is a variety of nasturtium. A couple of years ago, when Burpee was still issuing its "heirloom catalogue" with all the beautiful full-page reproduction plates, we bought some of every nasturtium there. This year Empress of India was not offered, but we still have a show in pots, plus every nasturtium on this page, from last year. The trailing nasturtiums have gone wild.
