Cubanola (Campanita)

Cubanolas or Campanitas is a small genus made up of two species only from the Dominican Republic (Cubanola domingensis), respectively from Cuba (Cubanola daphnoides). Both are evergreen shrubs to small trees with glossy, leathery foliage and showy, pendant, fragrant, creamy-white trumpet flowers. For any rich, well drained soil in a partially shaded (summer) to sunny (winter) spot at a minimum of some 20°C in winter. Unlike most several other tropical members in the family of Rubiaceae (coffee or bedstraw family), Cubanola seeds do not need to be stored slightly moist in order to maintain their viability. They can be cold stored dry and air-tight for several months. Germination is naturally rather slow and may take several weeks to few months.
Sow seeds upon receipt flat in pots in any rich, well drained soil some 25°C throughout the year.
