Canary Climber (Tropaeolum canariense) Seeds *New for 2026*

Plant Information:

Tropaeolum canariense 

Sow: Mid/late Spring
Flowers: Throughout Summer
Height/Spread: 2.5m+ x 1m+

Gorgeous tender perennial climber, usually grown as an annual. Grows and flowers quickly from seed – gorgeous yellow flowers, half resembling a canary in flight, hence name.

Uses: 

• Climber
• Ornamental 
• Quick from seed

Sowing instructions: 

Sow in situ late Spring, or start off in modules where the temperature can be controlled better. Germination can be slow - Tropaeolum seeds tend to germinate when as and when they're ready; leave them to it, they'll sprout when ready. 

Growing instructions:

Plant out in full sun with something to climb up. The plants can be overwintered in warmer areas - a good mulch in Autumn will give them the best sot at making it through Winter. 

Notes: 

Tender perennial, usually grown as an annual. Best in full sun in a sheltered spot without too much wind.
