Notes
Canary creeper (Tropaeolum peregrinum) is a vine for borders and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Butterflies visit the flowers.
Pairs well with America sweet pea, Sugar Snap pea, and Giant granadilla.
