Mango Honeysuckle - Tecoma capensis -Live Semi-Tropical Plant - Peach Flower - Emerald Godess Gardens - Starter Sz 4 Inch Pot

Brand: Emerald Goddess Gardens

Color: Peach, Green

Features:

• A native of South Africa, the Cape Honeysuckle is a tried-and-true favorite in tropical and subtropical landscapes. This Mango variant produces soft, mango-apricot-toned flowers. While its flowers resemble a honeysuckle, it is not a true honeysuckle and is not fragrant. It is rarely grown commercially.
• The common Honeysuckle name comes from the similar shape of the flowers. Tecoma is a different species, is not a true honeysuckle, and is not fragrant. However, it is a prolific, easy-to-grow, reliable bloomer and a great choice for boundary, background, screen, or transitional accent plantings, or as a porch, patio, or outdoor garden pot.
• Care: When mature, plant in fertile, well-draining soil in full sun to very light afternoon only shade. Water as needed to maintain consistent soil moisture, but avoid overwatering. Feed a good quality, slow-release, bloom-boosting fertilizer initially and repeat annually in spring. Prune after flowering to control size and shape. Avoid pruning during the semi-dormant winter resting phase.
• Indoor Growing: This plant grows large and requires the full spectrum of light for 4 to 6 hours daily, high humidity, warm temperatures, and a period of mild chilling during winter dormancy to produce flowers, so it is not well-suited for the average indoor growing space.
• Climate: This is a semi-tropical plant and is recommended for growing in USDA Zones 8B 9, 10, and 11. Protection from cold temperatures is required in all zones for the longest life, best appearance, and earliest flowering. Note that Zone recommendations are based on average temperatures and do not consider factors such as humidity, rainfall, or day/night temperature variations. Every growing environment has unique challenges.
