Canarina canariensis
Canary Bellflower is a scrambling tuberous perennial from the Canary Islands, grown for its orange bell-shaped flowers and large orange berries. It needs frost-free conditions, so in cooler climates it is grown under glass or in a conservatory.
Canarina canariensis is a species of flowering plant in the bellflower family Campanulaceae, commonly known as the Canary Island bellflower, and known locally as bicácaro.
This species is valued in cultivation for its scrambling habit and attractive deep orange bell flowers. As it does not tolerate temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), in temperate regions it must be grown under glass. It can be expected to reach 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) in height. In cultivation in the UK it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Canarina canariensis is endemic to the Canary Islands.
