Tecoma

Scientific Name:

Tecoma capensis

Tecoma is a versatile plant known for its vibrant trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of orange to yellow. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun to partial shade and requires moderate watering. This plant supports local biodiversity by attracting pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds with its nectar-rich flowers. Traditionally, Tecoma has been used in some cultures for its medicinal properties, such as treating coughs, colds, and fevers. It is commonly grown as a hedge, climber, or shrub, making it a popular choice for gardens and landscapes.
