The Cape honeysuckle is an evergreen shrub that grows to 8 ft. tall with pruning, or a vine that reaches 20 ft. with support. The leaflets are shiny green, and the fall-winter flowers are orange tubular shaped. This shrub can tolerate sun or part shade, heat, wind, salt air. The Cape honeysuckle is drought tolerant and attracks hummingbirds. -Cornflower Farms

Water Saving Tip:
Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems.
Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
