Fabulous I didnt think I liked nasturtiums now i will have to rethink them!

Isnt it lovely....not quite as easy to get going as the annual nasturtiums.....Needs its roots well shaded and flowers headed toward some sunshine.....I think water is its main need, whereas the annual tropaeolum will grow 'any oldwhere'...we have lots of rain here in Northern Ireland and i think thats why it is successful.....Once it finds a situation it likes, theres no stopping it.....mine has now travelled next door and is growing beautifully up an ivy-covered pole....the neighbours are delighted....you should give it a try Drc......:>)
