WANTED: Tropaeolum tricolor

21 years ago

We saw this plant growing in Tasmania and would love to grow it here. If anyone has some seed or a plant we can swap various campanulas, giant forget-me-not, various poppies, rare cobra lilly and lots of other interesting things. Fingers crossed someone out there has this.

OK, I got one. Nasty fellow, bites me whenever I try to pick out debris from the center. I am interested in other good, colorful Broms that will take morning sun.

I'm interested in both your tricolor sage and your egyptian walking onion bulbs. I have chocolate mint. I also have other medicinal / herbs that we could make a swap with. I am going out of town for the weekend, but I have quite a few things and I'm sure we can work out a more detailed trade. Please email me a list of what you have, and review my list of things you may want. Danny

Granny Smiths Garden,Rare Perennial Nursery, 5000 Channel Highway, Gordon, Tas,7163. Tropaeolum speciosum, (tricolorum) You could try a google for her also as I am sure I have seen a list on the net. I have had it growing in Brisbane for 18 months but it doesnt look as if it will flower this year. It has gotten too hot too soon. Good Luck. Robyn
