Tropaeolum polyphyllum is a flowering plant in the nasturtium family, native to mountainous regions of Chile and Argentina. It is commonly known as "soldadito grande de la cordillera" and overwinters as a tuber deep in the soil. Its shoots have silvery green leaves and produce showy golden yellow flowers in mid-summer. This plant is found in stony and dry habitats at high altitudes and can survive harsh conditions with its deep-buried tubers. It can be cultivated in full sun and well-drained soil, and propagated from tubers or seeds. Its hardiness zone is 7.
