Streptosolen jamesonii

Streptosolen jamesonii, commonly known as the Marmalade Bush, is a vibrant and eye-catching plant that brings a burst of colour to any garden or indoor space. This semi-evergreen shrub is cherished for its clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers that transition from bright yellow to deep orange as they mature, creating a stunning gradient of warm hues.

Native to South America, Streptosolen jamesonii thrives in warm, sunny conditions and is ideal for growing in containers, hanging baskets, or as part of a mixed border. It prefers well-drained soil and regular watering, although it can tolerate short periods of drought.

This fast-growing plant can reach up to 2 metres in height, making it perfect for adding vertical interest to a space. With its long blooming season and showy flowers, Streptosolen jamesonii is a favourite among gardeners looking to add a tropical flair to their plant collection.
