Re: Tropaeolum speciosa


We have just planted out 3 different cvs. of Lapageria rosea on a similar problem wall at our place. In the Southern Hemisphere that means SE facing position with v. little sun but cool damp soil. So far they have grown vigorously, which in itself surprised mne no end as theoir reputation id for being very slow. We just cut the bottoms out of their plastic pots and planted the whole thing into a hole with old compost liberally dug into the surrounding soil and at the bottom of the hole. Maybe they would be worth thinking about in your situation.
