JUNE 21ST 10..TROPAEOLUM SPECIOSUM....climbing nasturtium

Is this the perennial Tropaeolum speciosum, Motinot?

It is David.....It grows quite well here (plenty of rain)...and the roots are in shade, its coming into flower now but i dont notice as much of it as last year...maybe the frost has cut it back a bit....:>)

Ooh I wonder if mine will flower this year .... .. it's still growing well David it's happily climbing the canes and has attached it's self to the hedge ..

Dont you just love it!!!

I had been after one for ages Motinot David kindly offered to send me one from Scotland , it's growing really well ... I had tried seeds but they didn't grow at all !

Thanks for the ID and info, Motinot. :-)

Glad to hear that your plant is thriving, Amy. :-)

Do you think it will have flowers this year David / Motinot how long does it take ?

Goodness Amy....I planted mine so many years ago....do you notice any little red buds on yours?... i reckon there should be flower buds developing by now...Every spring i take little pieces of root out of the ground and pot them into individual pots...grow them on and plant them where i want them...my brother usually calls for a few bits....I dont think they usually flower in their first year... What do you think David?...:>)
