Nasturtium Seeds – Purple Emperor
Nasturtium Seeds – Purple Emperor Nasturtium ‘Purple Emperor’ is a unique and unusual variety with intricate colouring! These elegantbuds open as dark burgundy then fade to shades of dusky rose, providing a classy and vintage look. Its trailing habit makes it ideal to use as ground cover or cascading out of a patio pot or a container on the balcony. Each beautiful bloom has a splash of yellow in the throat of the flower and the leaves and flowers can be used in homemade salads for a peppery taste, similar to rocket leaves! These leaves can also be used to make pesto, for homemade Italian dishes too. Or how about pickling the seed pods? This can create the traditional ‘poor man’s capers’.
