Read about Tropaeolum tricolor in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Tropaeolum tricolor, Sweet, emended by Lindl. (Sweet spelled the specific name tricolorum, but, as Lindley pointed out, this is orthographically incorrect) (T. coccineum, Miers). Fig. 3857. Perennial from a fleshy or tuberous root, half-hardy, climbing: lvs. peltate, orbicular, divided into 6 oblong villous lfts.: fls. about 1 in. long, somewhat cornucopia-shaped, the calyx being the conspicuous part; main part of the calyx vermilion, the short lobes purplish, the small petals yellow. Chile. B.M. 3169. B.R. 1935. F.S. 4:369. P.M. 2:123. Gt. 62, p. 273. G.W. 6, p. 277.—Very choice half-hardy plant and probably the best known in this country of the tuberous-rooted kinds. Usually grown indoors. Its growth is very delicate. Var. grandiflorum, Hort. (T. Jarattii, Paxt. T. Yarattii, Buchen.), differs only in having larger fls.
