Streptosolen jamesonii
Small upright open shrub with soft mid-green oval leaves. In a warm frost free climate it can flower all year around, but mostly it has loose clusters of bright orange flowers in the hot months. Plant in full or part sun in free draining soil. Will do best with ample water in the growing season. Very frost tender, though could grow against a warm sunny wall.
