Tropaeolum........22nd Aug 09

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......:>)

Its lovely........

looking very good.

My favourite climber at this time of year. Yours looks amazing! :-)

Thank you Holly, Raj and David...this is doing great this year...i suppose its all the rain we are getting...:>)

Yes Motinot perhaps I will try it next year!

That's gorgeous!

If it likes rain it should do well here in N Wales! I shall be looking to plant one

Good one Neellan....:>)

Wow, that's a wonderful show. Spritzhenry would love to see this.
