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.

Good fit for Acura MDX
Size: 8.8" x 9.3" x 1.1"
This is an air cabin filter that will fit many cars, and in my case a 2019 MDX. Since this kind of filter is not doing anything critical like keeping dirt out of an engine, I shop around for non-OEM filters for something that strikes a balance between price versus performance. This filter just filters out dust in a car cabin, and when we’re not in our cars, we don’t have the benefit of an air filter when we are walking around outdoors. At a fraction of the price of an Acura filter, this filter seems to strike that balance. The filter media looks sturdy and is embedded with charcoal to help absorb odors. Installation is very straightforward in my MDX, and similar in most cars. There is a compartment door inside the glovebox that first must be removed before changing the filter. Pay attention to the direction flow arrow that shows which way the filter should be installed. Overall I am satisfied with this filter. It is inexpensive, fits perfectly, and seems to do the job just fine. It is definitely worth trying if you are trying to save money.

These filters do the job
Size: 2Pcs
Fits great in my '08 Accord LX and my '19 Accord Sport 2.0t. They filter air well and are easy to install like any cabin air filter in a Honda. I am pleased. Good value for the price.

Fit my 2014 Odyssey TE
Size: 8.8" x 9.3" x 1.1"
Comes with printed instructions for those who haven't changed it before. Here is the specific use case from my van. On my 2014 TE its easy to access behind the glove box, open to usual full open then just push the left and right sides in to allow the glove box to come fully out. It may pop off of the mounts, don't panic it snaps right back on. Then look for the little rectangular panel with two small levers on either side. on the black plastic under the dash that you can now see and access. Press the levers and pull towards you, doing a bit of a wiggle to get it out. Its tight, but it will come out with having to break it. Don't gorilla hands it, it will break. There is a directional arrow on the filter, which you have to remove from the wrapper before installing. Yes, someone *will* forget that. Reassembly the reverse of removal. Check that video sharing site online if you need visual instructions.

DIY!!
Bought this cabin air filter for my 2015 Honda CR-V and it fit perfectly. Installation was super easy and only took a few minutes. I immediately noticed the air coming through the vents smelled cleaner. No need to have it replaced for you. Definitely worth it if you want an affordable replacement that gets the job done.
