Canary Dragon Aroid is one out of two members within the small genus Dracunculus. It makes a tall and narrow, pure white spathe and a yellow spadix. Does not have a strong smell on flowering. It is native of partially shaded spots in humus rich, slightly moist soils on the Canary Islands, where it has become quite rare. Only on Gran Canaria some larger populations can still be found. Not reliably winter hardy in Central Europe. Plants start growth in late summer and are usually wintergreen, thus keep slightly moist in a sunny spot at a minimum of some 5°C in winter. Keep completely dry as soon as leaves wither in late spring to early summer, until new growth is shown in late summer to early autumn.
Sow flat in any humus-rich, yet well drained soil in a sunny spot at some 15°C to 20°C.
All are USDA Climate Zone 9/10.
Price is given per package (10 seeds) or per dormant corm (size in ø cm).
Note: Corms are available for a delivery within Europe only ! Seeds are shipped worldwide.
The related Helicodiceros muscivorus (Dead-Horse-Arum) is available in the shop as well.
