Tropaeolum polyphyllum
A hardy tuberous perennial Nasturtium. Pale blue-grey leaves meticulously arranged on long sinuous stems make it worth growing for foliage alone. Pretty lemon yellow flowers erupt from the tip of each stem in June and July. By August it has become dormant and you will see no more of it until next April.
