Description

The Cape Honeysuckle is an evergreen shrub that grows to 8' tall with pruning, or a vine that reaches 20' with support. The leaflets are shiny green, and the fall-winter flowers are orange and tubular shaped. This shrub can tolerate sun or part shade, heat, wind, and salt air. The Cape Honeysuckle is drought tolerant and attracts hummingbirds.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
