Description

The listing, Allamanda large yellow trumpet flower bush has ended.

Of all the allamanda varieties among South Florida shrubs, bush allamanda is probably the most easy-to-grow, with bright green foliage and abundant yellow flowers.
The large flowers (7-11 cm long and 5-7.5 cm wide) have five bright yellow petals that are fused together at the base to form a tube about 4-8 cm long.
The plant will grow too large eventually to work as a foundation shrub, but other than that, it's one of the most versatile yellow flowering shrubs for any sunny spot.
Its size and color make it an ideal accent, hedge or single specimen for the yard...even a not-too-tall privacy screen around lanai or pool cage.
These plants tend to become bare at the base when they're more mature. If you dislike that look, grow small plants around the allamanda to cover up the trunk.
Add top soil (or organic peat moss) and cow manure to the hole when you plant.
Trim as needed to shape and cut back in spring (late March or early April) for size.
Water on a regular basis, but don't keep this plant overly wet.Let it dry out a bit between waterings.
Fertilize 3 times a year - in spring summer and autumn - with a quality granular fertilizer.
llamanda bushes grow wider at the top, so place them no closer than 3 feet apart.
Come out from the house at least 2-1/2 feet.
If planting along a walk or drive, come in 3 to 4 feet.
Bush allamandas are evergreen and moderately salt-tolerant. They're moderate growers that like full to partial sun and do best in Zone 10.
I am in zone 9 and my grandma has had her bush for at least 10 years it never has a problem it grows very easy so I'm pretty sure as long as the weather doesn't go below 20 you can grow it anywhere if your weather is an issue I would keep it in a pot and keep it trimmed.
The flowers stay most of the year on my grandmas bush research says flowers stay summer and winter.
