Allamanda Bush

Allamanda schottii

allamanda bush

Also known as: Bush Allamanda, Dwarf Allamanda, Golden Trumpet Bush

Native to the lush tropical forests of Brazil, Allamanda Bush is one of the most cheerful, sun-loving shrubs you can grow. Unlike its climbing relatives, this compact evergreen stays upright and bushy — making it far more landscape-friendly. Its bold, trumpet-shaped golden yellow flowers bloom from summer through fall against deep, glossy green leaves, creating a striking contrast that brightens any outdoor space. Hardy, salt-tolerant, and virtually carefree once established.

Plant in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and water regularly until established.
