The Canary Island Bellflower comes from a cool climate and is happiest between 45 and 75°F (7-24°C). I don't recommend this plant for areas that regularly get above 75-80 degrees (24-27°C) from October through March (in the Southern hemisphere, April to September), especially if nights are warm. The plant needs protection from all frost, since freezing temperatures may kill the foliage. During the summer dormant period, the soil needs to be kept dry (although not bone-dry).
The plant grows well in a 3-5 gallon (10-20 liter) container. You may tie the shoots to a trellis or fence, or let them trail along the ground and scramble through bushes. It prefers filtered sunlight, or morning sun + afternoon shade. Protect it from strong afternoon sun. Give it moist, well-draining soil, such as 2 parts potting soil to 1 part perlite or coarse sand. Over about 40% humidity is recommended. In the right conditions, it is an easy, care-free plant.
