Tropaeolum tricolor

I have always loved this plant. It always makes me think of a shoal of little tropical fish. ::)
I always grow it in a pot. It is so useful, as I can put the pot behind the shed when it has finished flowering, and leave it there until the following winter. : ;D

Alisdair, I don't know Tropaeolum azureum at all. I have only ever seen pictures of it. I would love to try it. Hopefully, I can find a supplier.
