Cape Honeysuckle (Tecomaria capensis) is a fast-growing, evergreen shrub native to southern Africa, known for its vibrant, tubular orange to red flowers. This plant, which belongs to the Bignoniaceae family, can grow up to 10 feet tall, though it is often pruned to form hedges or trained as a climbing vine. Cape Honeysuckle thrives in full sun but can also tolerate partial shade, and it is drought-resistant once established, making it a popular choice for gardens in warm, dry climates. Blooming mainly in the fall and winter, its bright flowers attract hummingbirds and other pollinators. Due to its versatility and ability to grow quickly, it is often used for ornamental purposes in landscaping, providing vibrant color and coverage.
