Pancratium canariense, also known as the Canary Sea Daffodil, is a bulbous plant that is native to the Canary Islands. It prefers to grow on north facing slopes with good light and fertile soil, and is not tolerant of hot sun or drought. This plant produces large bulbs and flowers in the early autumn, giving off a fragrant scent. It is similar to the Pancratium illyricum from southern Europe, but can be distinguished by its wider leaves, longer flower-stalks, and fall blooming period. Pancratium canariense is easy to grow and thrives in sunny locations, making it a great addition to coastal gardens in foggy areas. However, it is not frost tolerant and is only hardy to USDA zone 10.
