Shrubs - Cape Honeysuckle

Colorful evergreen large shrubs or vines. These easy-to-grow and long-blooming shrubs are useful as evergreen hedges, vines, screens, or small ornamental trees. They are upright growing woody perennial plants with glossy, dark green small leaves, and clusters of tubular bright orange blooms. Like other blooming shrubs, they offer the most flowers when planted in full sun, but they will grow well with some shade. They thrive in heat, but do prefer good drainage. Protect from frosts. If the foliage gets nipped by a cold snap, they will recover quickly after any damaged foliage is pruned off.

Scientific name:  Tecoma capensis
