| Botanical Name | Tecoma x 'Cape Town Orange' |
| Description | 'Cape Town Orange' provides a high-impact burst of color while maintaining a manageable, compact size for the Houston metro area. While it is built to withstand our intense summer sun and high humidity, it is vital to ensure the plant is not situated in standing water. It can adapt to local soils but requires good drainage; in areas with heavy, slow-draining clay, planting in a raised mound or incorporating soil amendments is highly recommended to prevent root rot during our wet seasons. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Essential for heavy bloom production) |
| Height x Width | 3-4 ft. Tall x 3 ft. Wide |
| Water | Low to Medium; drought tolerant once established. Water regularly during prolonged dry spells to maintain blooms. |
| Zones | 9 - 11 (Root hardy in Zone 8 with protection) |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer. |
| Pruning | Deadhead spent flower spikes to encourage a continuous cycle of blooms. Cut back significantly in late winter. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate to High |
