Tecoma capensis (Tecoma capensis), the Cape honeysuckle or trumpet flower, is a vigorous, scrambling evergreen shrub that can be trained as a climber or clipped hedge, typically 2-4 m tall, with glossy, dark green pinnate leaves. It produces dense terminal clusters of tubular orange to red-orange trumpet flowers over a very long season, drawing in sunbirds, bees and butterflies. Native to southern Africa, it is widely grown across India in gardens and along boundaries for its hardiness and near-continuous colour.
It is valued purely as an ornamental and landscaping plant, ideal for flowering hedges, screens, pergolas, fences and bank cover, and responds well to hard pruning. Tough and drought tolerant once established, it thrives in the warm plains and coastal areas and tolerates a range of soils.
- Family: Bignoniaceae
- Native region: Southern Africa (widely cultivated in India)
- Mature height: 2-4 m

Sowing the seed: the small winged seeds need no pre-treatment, though a short soak of a few hours can even out germination. Surface sow or barely cover with about 0.5 cm of light, well-drained mix, keep warm, moist and in bright light; germination typically takes 7-14 days. Move seedlings into polybags once established and plant out when 20-30 cm tall during the warm or monsoon season.
