Empress of India Nasturtium Seeds (Tropaeolum majus) – 50+ Heirloom Non-GMO Seeds by Isla’s Garden Seeds, Deep Crimson Blooms & Dark Green Foliage, Edible Flowers, Perfect for Gardens & Containers

Tropaeolum majus 'Empress of India'


Empress of India Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) is a striking heirloom variety cherished for its velvety, deep crimson-red blossoms and contrasting dark blue-green foliage. Unlike trailing nasturtiums, this compact bushy form grows neatly to about 12–14 inches, making it ideal for borders, edging, and container plantings. First introduced in the 19th century, Empress of India quickly gained popularity with gardeners and remains one of the most admired nasturtium varieties for its rich jewel-toned flowers and elegant growth habit.

These vibrant blooms are not only eye-catching but also edible, offering a peppery flavor similar to watercress. Both the blossoms and the rounded leaves can be used to enhance salads, garnishes, and other culinary dishes with color and zest. In the garden, Empress of India is low-maintenance and thrives in full sun to partial shade, preferring well-draining, moderately fertile soil. Excessively rich soil will encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers, so they perform best in leaner conditions.

This nasturtium variety is a favorite companion plant, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies while adding visual brilliance to vegetable beds and flower gardens alike. Its compact size makes it perfect for small garden spaces, patios, and window boxes where its velvety blooms will stand out against the rich, dark foliage.

Empress of India Nasturtium blooms generously from late spring through fall, providing continuous color and culinary possibilities. Its adaptability, edible beauty, and timeless charm have secured its place in gardens for well over a century. A true heirloom treasure, this nasturtium continues to enchant gardeners seeking both ornamental appeal and practical versatility.

🌱 Planting Instructions


Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date, once soil has warmed to at least 55°F. For faster germination, soak seeds in warm water for 12–24 hours before planting. Plant seeds ½–1 inch deep, spacing them 8–12 inches apart in well-draining soil. Choose a location in full sun, though plants will tolerate partial shade.

Keep the soil evenly moist during germination, which typically occurs within 7–14 days. Once established, nasturtiums require only moderate watering and thrive in leaner soils, where they produce more flowers. Avoid excessive fertilization, as rich soil encourages leafy growth at the expense of blooms.

Compact and reliable, Empress of India Nasturtiums will bloom continuously from late spring to fall, rewarding you with rich crimson flowers and lush dark foliage.

Impressed!
Color: 02 - Untinted (1.7 oz)
Just got back from a week in Florida at Disney World and this sunscreen was fantastic. I have spent hours researching different products, reading reviews and trying different things and decided to try this on my mature, acne prone skin. I applied it in the morning before leaving the hotel and once more in the middle of the day and it protected my skin from the extreme heat and sun and did not cause any breakouts. It did not run and does not cause a white cast. I would highly recommend this product!

A Daily Essential – Lightweight & Fast-Absorbing
Color: 02 - Untinted (1.7 oz)
I've made this my go-to sunscreen and use it every single day. What sets it apart is the texture – it's smooth and applies beautifully without any sticky residue, which is a game-changer for daily wear under makeup or on its own. The absorption is impressively fast. I can apply it in the morning and not feel like I'm waiting around for it to dry down. It sinks in quickly and leaves my skin feeling clean and protected, not weighed down. For sensitive skin, this is exactly what I needed. This is a must-have in my routine. Highly recommend if you're looking for a lightweight, non-sticky sunscreen that actually works.

Good price
Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Gentle & Mild
Most Amazon basics items are of decent quality and this is no exception. Nothing fancy just a decent hand soap with typical viscosity that will work in just about any dispenser including automatic dispensers. Most importantly it does a good job cleaning the hands without leaving your hands all sticky and gooey after washing. Yeah. That really is a thing. I've used hand soaps that after rinsing and drying your left with "gheco hands" like you can pick up a penny with your knuckle. No chemical or overpowering odor. One odd thing. The original order came in a box that looked like the Amazon loader threw it into the back of the van from about 50 feet away .... The bottles cap was destroyed and the soap had leaked into the box. Amazon quickly replaced the item with a new bottle no charge and didn't expect me to return the damaged bottle of course. Thing is the second box came in the same condition. Looked like the punter for the Ravens drop kicked it from the 30 into the back of the truck. Luckily the bottle was undamaged this time.

Convenient refill that lasts a long time
Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Gentle & Mild
I bought this hand soap refill to save money and reduce plastic waste, and overall I’ve been very pleased with it. The soap has a pleasant scent that isn’t too strong, and it leaves my hands feeling clean without making them feel dry afterward. I also like how easy it is to refill existing dispensers instead of constantly buying new bottles. The large refill size lasts much longer than expected, which is convenient for a busy household. However, pouring the soap into smaller dispensers can be a little messy if you’re not careful. The packaging is somewhat bulky as well. Overall, it’s an economical and practical option that works very well for everyday hand washing.

Great product at even greater price!
Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Scent: Milk & Honey
This hand soap works very well, has a great scent, and costs less than half of inferior national brands. I have purchased 4 large refill bottles so far.
