Dear All, Several years ago I got a Tropaeolums from Telos Rare Bulbs and Jana shared some that Wayne Roderick had given away at Cal Hort. Both were called Tropaeolum tricolor. Since then I have seen the name T. tricolorum used as well. Looking on the Internet both names are used. I am assuming this is the same species, but am wondering what is the correct name. Regardless of the name this is one of my favorite plants. I grow it in a container that is in the ground inside another container and let it climb on a wire fence. When it dries out in summer I keep it dry until fall. The tubers have increased only slowly, but they look very different from each other almost as if I have two different things. The flowers looks the same however. It is in bloom for a very long time and is very dramatic. Mary Sue
