Grown as an annual, the canary creeper is popular for training over trellises, up porches and above window-boxes. The seeds are best sown under glass in spring, in pots or boxes, and the young plants set out in May or June. The plants grow fast in moist fertile soil, and soon come into bloom. The flowers are small and a bright pale yellow in colour, and are produced very freely. For rapidly covering fences, concealing ugly spots in newly formed gardens, this creeper has few equals.
