Shipping calculated at checkout.
West Coast Seeds packets are small and lightweight. However, carrier restrictions prevent us from shipping via standard lettermail. All online orders ship with tracked service to ensure reliable delivery. Because of this, shipping may be higher than expected when ordering only a few seed packets. Adding seeds to a larger order usually does not increase the overall shipping cost.
This old heirloom variety has stunning crimson flowers that rise above cascading, deep green leaves for hanging baskets or planters. Empress of India nasturtium seeds produce flowers that make a striking contrast that never fails to attract attention. This variety matures to heights of 30cm (12"). Nasturtiums are fairly tough plants and quite drought tolerant, so they make a good candidate for xeriscaping. The edible flowers produced by this nasturtium are so intensely bright red that they look amazing in salads. Save some of the fresh seeds produced by your nasturtiums for pickling. They make excellent capers. Try planting some seeds as microgreens for their powerful, peppery kick.
