Canarina canariensis

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. Bryan

Hi Mary Sue:
My Canarina canariensis doesn't bloom if grown outside. I have one large
pot in a greenhouse, and it is almost ready to bloom, with flower buds at
the end of each branch. My plants grow to about two to three feet, and I
don't give them support, just let them trail. The greenhouse isn't heated,
but will provide slightly warmer temperatures than outside, so maybe those
few degrees make a difference.
