Tropaeolum tricolor 3

Wow. Never seen one this colour before.

Fantastic looking plant

is it a sort of passion flower the leaves look the same.

No it's not. Passion flower is the passiflora family. This is a tropaeolum and is related to the nasturiums we grow as annuals

Incredible colors. Mike C

I have never seen a tropaeolum before now. It is beautful!

I love the colours!

Stunning :o)

Hi Andrewr,

is this the one that flower in Winter and is dormant in the Summer?

Yes it is Ualda

Thanx Andrewr!

Do you know if I can grow it in the garden? ( I am in London )

As it's not hardy, you would need to grow it in a pot and bring it inside during the winter. I tried to cheat and planted it under a prostrate conifer but then of course, we got a bad winter and I''ve lost it :-(

:( It's a shame

- I really like it but I do not have space for it in the house but I got a medium size plastic green house with a little heater, do you reckon I could keep it there in the winter? My little new Mimosa is doing fine in there.

That depends on how cold it gets dring the winter. As it's only a small plant, you could bring it inside if we have a very cold night and then put it out again

stunner!
