Streptosolen jamesonii - Marmalade Bush
Orange, yellow, and red — oh my. Streptosolen jamesonii, the beloved Marmalade Bush, is a stunning evergreen shrub that can bloom almost year-round in mild climates. From late spring through fall, and even longer in the warmest gardens, large 5" clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers appear in glowing shades of orange, gold, and red, often all at once.
Fast, multi-branching, and easy to grow, Marmalade Bush brings tropical-looking color to half-sun borders, wall plantings, garden stairs, slopes, and large containers. Its shiny bright green oval leaves provide a lush backdrop for the warm-toned blooms, while the arching habit looks especially beautiful spilling over walls or softening the edge of a path. Hummingbirds and pollinators appreciate the long season of flowers.
Plant Streptosolen jamesonii in half-day sun with rich, well-drained soil and regular water for best bloom. Prune lightly to shape as needed. Explore more colorful shrubs in our Streptosolen - Marmalade Bush collection.
