    (MARMALADE BUSH) Exotic, tender shrub from the Andes in South America…late spring thru fall clusters of brilliant 1” flaring trumpet blossoms that open yellow, age to orange and mature to red with all colors on the bush at the same time!

    The Marmalade Plant is ideal for both baskets and standards. Splendid gold and orange flowers abound on this versatile plant through winter and spring. It needs a shortening day length and full sun to flower well. A fast and vigorous grower.

    Orange, yellow & red – oh my! Always in demand here at the nursery, this stunning shrub blooms almost all year round! From late Spring thru Fall (longer in USDA zone 11), the large 5” clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers appear wondrously at the same time. Multi-branching, fast & easy, it’s evergreen, with attractive smallish & shiny bright green oval leaves. Striking in any position, especially spilling over walls and lining garden stairs. For best show, grow in half day sun with rich soil. Side-dress with compost once a year. Can reach 6’ x 6’ or prune to a more compact form. Hummingbird magnet!
