Cape Honeysuckle (Tecoma capensis) is a versatile evergreen shrub or climbing plant that brings a burst of color to gardens with its clusters of bright orange-red tubular flowers. Native to South Africa, this hardy plant thrives in warm climates and can be pruned to suit a variety of landscaping needs, including hedges, ground covers, or decorative trellises. Its long blooming season and nectar-rich flowers make it a magnet for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. Cape Honeysuckle is drought-tolerant once established and grows well in full sun to partial shade, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardeners looking to enhance their outdoor space with vibrant, wildlife-friendly foliage.
