| Other Details | Yellow allamanda is a massive climbing evergreen shrub native to tropical South America.As a vine, it will grow rapidly to 20’. Features clusters of yellow, trumpet-shaped, single or double flowers with white throat markings and leathery, wavy-margined, obovate, light green leaves (4-6” long) that appear in whorls of 3-4 or in pairs along the stems. The fragrant, loosely clustered blooms appear in summer. Spiny seed capsules follow the flowers. The coarse oval leaves are leathery and glossy. The long, scrambling stems will climb any structures available, or will grow as a freestanding shrub if their tips are regularly pruned. This handsome climber requires full sun and fertile, well-drained soil for best growth. In temperate regions, yellow allamanda may be summered outdoors in containers and brought into a greenhouse or conservatory to overwinter. Whether grown as a vine or kept pruned back as a shrub, yellow allamanda makes a wonderful, everblooming specimen plant. It also makes an excellent hedge or screen where hardy.Best flowering in full sun. Best performance occurs in hot and humid climates where nighttime temperatures do not dip below 60 degrees F. The plant has milky sap and is considered poisonous; all parts are highly cathartic (hence the botanical name). |
