Tecomaria capensis, the Cape honeysuckle,[4][5][6] is a species of flowering plant in the family Bignoniaceae, native to southern Africa.
The flowers are tubular, narrow, about 7.5 cm (3 in) long, and are produced erratically at different times throughout the year, though they typically bloom from autumn to spring.
[3] It is cultivated in other areas of the world, such as in South-east Asia, the South of France, Hawaii, Florida, and California.
To keep this shrub clean and tidy, it must be pruned back in late winter to promote new growth and flowers.
[9][10] Tecomaria capensis is an excellent plant to use in a wildlife garden in Southern Africa, since it is popular with sunbirds and certain insects due to its nectar.
