Bush Allamanda, Allamanda neriifolia
Vigorous and fast-growing, Allamanda schottii (Bush Allamanda) is an evergreen tropical shrub boasting a profusion of ravishing clusters of golden trumpet flowers, 2 in. across (5 cm), adorned with reddish-orange throat stripes. Blooming in succession for months throughout the summer to the first frost – on and off most of the year in tropical conditions, the flowers give way to ornamental rounded, prickly fruits. The blossoms stand out against the handsome foliage of leathery green leaves, 2-4 in. long (5-10 cm), held in whorls along the stems. Allamanda blooms on new growth. It does not tolerate cold and needs heat for adequate growth and flowering. Providing quick, long-season color, Allamanda can be planted outdoors in the mildest climates where it makes a beautiful accent, hedge or single specimen. Elsewhere, it will happily reside in a container to be moved indoors in cold weather.
