Wow. The stunning and rare blue climbing nasturtium has thin twining stems
which produce many dazzling cobalt blue flowers from the leaf axils of
delicate, attractively-lobed leaves.
One of the fabulous perennial plants of dry places in Chile, it dies
down to deep resting tubers in winter when it must be kept as dry and
protected as possible. Quickly develops a taproot/tuber.
Perennial, USDA zone 9-11. The plant does not
tolerate snow, but can tolerate occasional freezing spells. Requires
well-drained slightly humid soil, neutral pH, high luminosity and full
sun.
