Nasturtium - Purple Emperor a herbaceous annual, with a semi-trailing habit, that produces rounded green foliage and flowers that start out deep purple-burgundy, before fading to an antique rose shade and finally lavender as the flowers age. Both flowers and foliage are edible. The peppery taste is slightly stronger than that of watercress and is perfect in salads. The flowers make a colourful addition to salads and cakes.
 
Nasturtiums are truly beautiful, easy to grow climbing/trailing plant, suited to container growth, hanging baskets, or as a ground cover, particularly where it can trail down rockeries or over retaining walls.
