{"product_id":"tecomaria-capensis-rocky-horror-red","title":"Tecomaria Capensis | Rocky Horror Red","description":"\u003cp\u003eA bold twist on the beloved indigenous Cape Honeysuckle, Rocky Horror Red bursts into vivid scarlet-red trumpet flowers that light up the garden. In Cape Town’s Western Cape climate, flowering begins in late winter (August) and continues right through spring and summer (September-March), often extending into early autumn depending on rainfall. This long flowering season ensures months of colour and nectar for sunbirds, bees, and butterflies. Its fast-growing, evergreen nature makes it ideal for hedges, screening, or sprawling over trellises and fences. Thriving in full sun but tolerant of semi-shade, it’s a water-wise choice for coastal and urban gardens.

Water regularly during Cape Town’s dry summer months (December-March), but once established it is drought-tolerant. Prune after flowering to shape and encourage dense growth. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring to boost flowering. It responds well to hard pruning if rejuvenation is needed, making it a forgiving and adaptable shrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDid You Know?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Cape Honeysuckle (Tecomaria capensis) is one of South Africa’s most iconic indigenous plants, traditionally used in gardens for its resilience and bird-attracting flowers.
