Cape Honeysuckle

Showy, Apricot-Orange, Trumpet-Shaped Blooms

Why Cape Honeysuckle Vines?

Fill your garden with the vibrant orange blooms of the Cape Honeysuckle. Plant as a shrub or train as a vine and watch it elegantly scale up porches, fences, or outdoor walls.

In spring, the Cape Honeysuckle blooms radiant clusters of trumpet-shaped, yellow, apricot, red, or orange flowers that light up any garden. And its green, fern-like foliage contains 5 to 9 leaflets.

This beautiful evergreen shrub with sprawling, vine-like stems grows best in warm, tropical climates and can reach anywhere from 13 to 25 inches tall for an attention-grabbing statement in any yard.

The Cape Honeysuckle produces long, thin elongated fruit capsules that contain numerous seeds easily dispersed by the wind. This plant has a sweet, aromatic scent, and the nectar of the flowers attracts hummingbirds and butterflies for enjoyable springtime wildlife viewing.

Incredibly low-maintenance, the Cape Honeysuckle is easy-to-grow, self-cleaning, and has no serious disease or insect problems. Plant as a show-stopping centerpiece in your garden containers or congregate them together in mass plantings or hedges. This fiery honeysuckle can even be planted to climb a trellis to add even more texture and color to your landscape.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant your Honeysuckle in a spot that receives full sun but is safe from cold, dry winds. Plant in a hole that is twice as wide but only as deep as the root ball. Do not over-cover the top of the root. Water to settle.

You can also plant your Honeysuckle as the centerpiece or accent in a container arrangement, or train it around an arbor or fence using garden ties or twine.

2. Watering: This vine can tolerate wet or dry conditions. Be sure to water the vine weekly in its young life to ensure proper growth. After a couple of years, you only need to water the tree during very dry spells. Avoid overwatering if you live in a humid climate.

3. Pruning: Pruning is not necessary – however, you can trim after flowering to maintain shape.
