Regal, Trailing & Edible — A Nasturtium Fit for Royalty
‘Purple Emperor’ is one of the most striking nasturtium varieties you can grow. Its deeply veined petals cascade through rich shades of purple, fading into soft lavender and dusty rose — a color palette that looks as though it was painted by hand. This trailing variety is as practical as it is beautiful, thriving in hanging baskets, spilling over walls, or spreading as a lush ground cover.

Why Gardeners Love It
From cascading hanging baskets to sprawling cottage borders, ‘Purple Emperor’ brings a dramatic, jewel-toned presence wherever it grows.
