Tecomaria SunLovers Compact ‘Yellow’ is an indigenous Cape honeysuckle that combines bright yellow trumpet blooms with a more disciplined growth habit. Unlike older forms that sprawl, this variety keeps its shape longer without excessive runners, giving you bold colour with far less maintenance.
With upright flower heads that stand above the foliage, it’s ideal for hedges, borders, or containers where you want strong visual appeal. Though labelled “Compact,” it still reaches a substantial size—so occasional light pruning helps maintain a crisp form. It thrives in full sun (with some light shade acceptable), adapts to both clay and sandy soils, and can be grown in large pots before planting out.
Ideal for Cape gardens, SunLovers Compact ‘Yellow’ offers durability, seasonal brightness, and ease of care, making it a top pick when you want a sunny accent without fuss.
