Canarina Canariensis

Canarina canariensis, commonly known as the Canary Island Bellflower, is a unique perennial plant native to the Canary Islands. This plant is known for its distinctive, bell-shaped orange flowers that dangle elegantly from slender stems, creating a charming and exotic appearance in gardens and landscapes.

This plant typically grows as a trailing or climbing vine, reaching heights of 2 to 3 meters. The leaves are dark green and glossy, providing a lush backdrop to the vibrant flowers. The orange blooms, which appear in late winter to spring, are bell-shaped with a slight curvature, attracting pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds.

Canarina canariensis thrives in well-drained, fertile soils and prefers a sunny location. It is suitable for growing in mild, Mediterranean climates, as it requires warmth and protection from frost. This plant can be grown in hanging baskets, containers, or as a climber against trellises, offering versatility in landscaping.

In addition to its ornamental value, the Canary Island Bellflower is relatively low-maintenance. It enjoys moderate watering, but it is important not to overwater, as it is sensitive to waterlogged conditions. The plant benefits from occasional pruning to maintain its shape and encourage more blooms.

With its bright, bell-shaped flowers and ease of care, Canarina canariensis makes a perfect addition to Mediterranean-style gardens, hanging baskets, or any space that could benefit from an elegant, exotic touch.

res in a greenhouse where temperatures should always be above freezing, but cool to cold. With increasing temperatures in late spring it goes dormant, and completely sheds its shoots.

Species Canarina canariensis
Germination Canarina canariensis seeds will usually germinate in 30-180 days, even under good conditions germination may be erratic. Sow seeds about 1mm deep in a well drained seed sowing mix at about 22øC. Do not cover the seeds. Keep the pots always slightly moist from beneath. Place them in a partially shaded spot. In several Canary plants, higher temperatures will slow down or even inhibit germination! Young seedlings are growing rather slowly, as soon as fourth pair of leaves appears they grow rapidly, especially from autumn to spring. Keep them in a sunny place, at a minimum of 7øC in winter.

Canarina is a beautiful plant but can be tricky. Seedlings need a certain tuber size before they flower and this may take several years. Also it is important not to keep them too warm in spring as warmth induces dormancy, and if this happens too early in the season, tuber growth will be poor and it will be prone to rotting. The tuber must not be kept totally dry when dormant. Note that even with watering in summer, the growth will not start; it has a very precise timing for winter growth. This plant is sensitive to frost, even cold air currents when opening the greenhouse door during hard frosts can cause leaf burn on plants growing near the door.
