Tropaeolum ciliatum

  • Product number: 605240
  • Origin: South America
  • Latin: Tropaeolum ciliatum

This perennial (Chilean) Nasturtium is very hardy and easy to grow! Its five-lobed leaves are already a delight to behold, and in summer, an abundance of buttercup-yellow flowers with beautiful reddish-brown veins in the upper two petals follow. Although they will also grow well in the shade, the sun, in particular, encourages abundant flowering and later, blue-black berries emerging from red calyxes! Give the plant space, as it will climb into and onto everything, quickly covering an unsightly bush or fence!

Names:
Latin: Tropaeolum ciliatum
