Cape Honeysuckle, and a Feather. #14/100

"Tecomaria capensis or the Cape honeysuckle is a rampant climber-type shrub, best supported on a trellis or climbing wires. It has long, slender branches and glossy, deep green leaves.

Cape Honeysuckle bears brilliant, deep orange/scarlet, trumpet-shaped flowers about 5cm long in clusters.

It is moderately frost hardy and will withstand moderate winds including coastal locations.

 

Goes very well up against walls or scrambling over fences, an excellent screen having very dense, but attractive foliage."
