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 yellow and tubular-shaped. This shrub can tolerate sun or part shade, heat, wind, salt air. The Cape Honeysuckle has low to medium watering needs and attracts hummingbirds.

Check your irrigation controller and reduce watering times if necessary.
