Cape honeysuckle, a tropical plant, flourishes in both full sun and partial shade. In its native habitat, it often thrives in dappled light within the forest understory. In extremely hot climates, partial shade locations might be preferable, although denser shade can impact the intensity of blooming.
Water
For optimal care, water your Cape Honeysuckle weekly with approximately one inch of water if grown in full sun. If the plant is cultivated in shade, watering frequency can be reduced to once or twice a month. After a year of regular watering, the roots should establish enough to provide drought tolerance.

This was a great transaction. The seller responded to questions quickly and pleasantly, and the plants matched the description perfectly. They were healthy, beautiful, packed amazingly well, and arrived fast and great shape. Met and exceeded my expectations. Good job, thank you!
Interesting bush, I think maybe it’s not happy in my climate [Oregon] but was well packed as always and I LOVE everything I get from this shop. Excellent value.
I was so impressed with the care in packing and shipping. Beautiful plant! Thank you!!
