Since we are discussing tropaeolum, I got some seeds of tropaeolum polyphyllum from Chileflora a couple of years ago and planted then in a quart pot. I had some germination but did not look after the seedlings properly and last summer there was no sign of life in the pot. I kept in anyway in a cool greenhouse over winter and to my surprise I have three shoots in the pot now. The tubers worked themselves to the bottom of the pot and I can see then through the drainage holes. Now what? Should I repot it to a much larger pot? If so, when? Beaver Creek Nurseries had it on their site that tropaeolum polyphyllum is hardy to zone 5. Is it true? Could I plant them in my gravel cactus bed then? Does anybody have any experience with growing it in zone 5, Great Lakes climate?
