Canary Creeper Seeds

Canary Creeper Seeds – Irish Plants Direct

 

Canary Creeper (Tropaeolum peregrinum) is a fast growing annual climber with delicate, fern like foliage and bright yellow, fringed flowers that resemble tiny birds in flight.

 

A close relative of nasturtium, this charming vine brings whimsical colour and soft texture to trellises, fences, hanging baskets, and vertical garden spaces.

 

Thriving in well-drained soil, Canary Creeper flourishes in full sun and blooms from midsummer to autumn. Its trailing stems and unique flowers attract bees and hoverflies, while the foliage adds a feathery contrast to bold summer plantings.
