Hello , I know that feeling,I've had that problem with tropaeolum speciosus,I've also tried a few years with seed,2,5 year ago I have went special to England(Chelsea flower show)for seed,at that time I had no internet.This year I found a supplier of tubers,and yep this year I have beautiful red blooms,but I have had to search where they stood ideal,I keep them now in pots and bring them in winter indoors.After 2,5 years!!
