Description
The Canary Creeper, also known as Tropaeolum peregrinum, is an unusual variety of Nasturtium with very bright canary yellow flowers. It is both creeping and climbing. It has an undeniable exotic charm, is very floriferous, and easy to grow.
Contrary to what its name and exotic charm might suggest, the Tropaeolum peregrinum or canariense is not native to the Canary Islands (botanists can be mischievous sometimes…) but to Ecuador and Peru.
It is a plant that is unique in several ways. It has slender stems and medium green foliage composed of non-peltate (round) leaves, unlike the majority of nasturtiums, but rather palmate (somewhat like fig leaves).
Its flowers display prominent stamens, with the two upper petals being wide and deeply cut, and a very bright yellow color. It is these feathery flowers that give this Nasturtium its name.
Lastly, it is not an annual but a non-hardy perennial plant, which we cultivate as an annual in our climates. If you have a heated greenhouse, you can grow it all year round.
Nevertheless, like all nasturtiums, it is a vigorous plant that quickly forms a wide carpet or takes over your supports with lots of elegance. Very easy to grow, you can associate it with other exotic climbers, such as Eccremocarpus scaber, Cobea scandens, or even Mina lobée.

Planting and care
Sow the seeds on the surface of a moist and well-draining seed compost. Cover them with a thin layer of compost or vermiculite. Place the seedlings in a mini greenhouse or enclose them in a polyethylene bag at a constant temperature of 15 to 20°C, until germination occurs, which usually takes 21 to 30 days. Do not deprive them of light as this is essential for germination.
When the young plants are large enough to handle, transplant them into 8cm (3.1 in) pots or trays. Gradually acclimatize them to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting them with a spacing of 30cm (11.8 in) when the risk of frost has passed.
Alternatively, sow them directly in their final position in late spring at a depth of 6mm (0.2 in).
Nasturtiums thrive in a moist, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. They are often attacked by aphids and cabbage white butterflies. Spraying a solution made of traditional black soap and water (4 to 5 cc / 1 l of water) will help limit the damage in case of a massive aphid attack.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
