Canary Lords-and-Ladies is a subspecies native of the Azores, Madeira and Canary Islands. On the latter it has become very rare. It naturally grows in rich, slightly moist soils in open spots in the laurel forest zone and makes large, horizontal corms. Easily cultivated in any humus rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot. The soil should be kept moist from autumn to late spring and completely dry in summer during dormancy. Fully winter hardy in Central Europe.
Sow in any rich, well drained soil and keep pots outside in a protected, sunny spot. Germinates either in late autumn or late spring. Cultivate in pots preferably under frostfree conditions for two years at a winter minimum of some 5°C in a sunny spot. Carefully transplant semi-dormant corms to the garden in late spring the second year after sowing.
All are USDA Climate Zone 7.

The stems' basis shows a light purplish tinge. The creamy-yellow spathe and spadix are followed by bright orange red fruit heads in summer. Easy in any rich, well drained soil in a frostfree, sunny spot. Seeds from cultivated plants raised from a population found on La Gomera (Canary Islands, Spain) several decades ago. In habitat this subspecies seems to have become extinct on the Canaries. IV-V.
