The garden where I worked in Yorkshire specialised in Tropaeolum
speciosum and mecanopsis selling them to garden centres throughout the
country and it very much seems to be pot luck. Different parts of the
same garden with seemingly identical conditions can vary in its
viability. In that garden it was a weed pulled up by the barrow-load.
I cannot get it to take in this garden even though I have much
experience of growing it. I will continue to try because sometimes it
can change its mind and have a good year. Once you have it, it is yours for life


I have always wanted to get it, but somehow never seemed to get around
to it. Would it be ok to plant now?

Yes it will be fine.
Buyers like to see plants in full (or certainly big) growth, so most of
ours didn't go to the garden centres until late spring.
I'll cross my fingers for you
