Princess of India This superb compact plant with dark foliage that contrasts nicely with its bright scarlet red flowers is well adapted for growth in poor soil.
Is this nasturtium safe for dogs and cats?
Yes. The ASPCA classifies Tropaeolum majus, the species confirmed for Princess of India in its technical sheet, as non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses. Toxicity is therefore marked FALSE and pet friendly is marked TRUE. Do not confuse garden nasturtium with watercress, sometimes called nasturtium in English, which is a different plant. Even a non-toxic plant may cause digestive discomfort when an animal eats a large amount. Fertilizers, pesticides, and growing media also carry their own risks. Keep seed packets and recently treated plants out of reach. If an animal consumes a substantial amount or develops unusual symptoms, contact a veterinarian and provide the name Tropaeolum majus along with the products applied. Pet-friendly status describes the plant itself, not every substance present during cultivation.
Are Princess of India flowers edible?
Yes. W.H. Perron expressly states that the scarlet-red flowers of Princess of India are suitable for decorating a salad or special dish. They provide the lively, peppery flavour typical of nasturtiums. Harvest only healthy, clean flowers and rinse them gently just before use. Eat only plants grown with products labelled for food crops. A plant purchased or treated strictly as an ornamental may have received products that are unsuitable for food. Try a small amount first if you are unfamiliar with the flavour. The edible field is therefore marked TRUE, but this botanical value does not replace checking the fertilizers and treatments actually applied during cultivation and does not guarantee that every decorative flower is suitable for eating.
