Dear Diana: Canarina canariensis needs temperatures in the 45-50F range, perhaps your greenhouse allows for such or near these temperatures. I know C.abyssinica and C. eminii have tuberous roots, not unlike Dahlia, but does C canariensis have such a rootstock or is it just fleshy and not a bulb in senso lato? I presume you know the fruit is an edible berry, I have never eaten one, have you? Cheers, John E.
