The Cape Honeysuckle is an evergreen, fast growing, and multi-stemmed bush and has earned its spot as our plant of the week for a variety of reasons. Not only is the Cape Honeysuckle a large bush that provides many garden benefits, but it also comes in a selection of flower colours, guaranteed to please any gardener. Here are a few reasons why we’ve given the Cape Honeysuckle its own glory:
• The Cape Honeysuckle is an evergreen plant and usually flowers year round in warmer areas.
• Produces many beautiful and fragrant flowers in one large flower head.
• Colours for flowers range from red, orange, yellow, and salmon pink.
• The Cape Honeysuckle grows up to 3m high and spreads to about 2.5m wide.
• The fragrance and bright colour of the Cape Honeysuckle attracts sunbirds, bees and butterflies to the garden.
• Cape Honeysuckle is used for hedges, both clipped for a formal appearance and informal wild plants.
• The Cape Honeysuckle has been known to aid a wide range of ailments in traditional medicine.
• Cape Honeysuckle requires semi-shaded areas and is a very trainable plant for use in hedges.
• This plant can easily survive a heavy pruning and should be trimmed during late winter to help promote new growth and flowers.
The Cape Honeysuckle is a fantastic addition to any garden, with fragrant flowers blooming year round. A delightful plant for both amateur and experienced gardeners, we love this plant and think you will too.
