Tropaeolum are a climbing plant that generally flower in mid to late summer. Tropaeolum speciosum is known as the 'Flame Flower' and requires a humus rich moist soil in part shade. Tropaeolum tricolor is originally from Chile and Bolivia. Tropaeolum majus is the 'nasturtium'. Tropaeolum azureum, Tropaeolum brachyceras, and Tropaeolum tricolor are interesting in that they are winter flowering and require a protected sunny position.
