Comments:	This large gangly shrub that can grow to be a small tree is noted for its clusters of bright yellow trumpet-shaped flowers that hang on the tips of branches. Flowers occur in summer and autumn. It cannot tolerate hard freezes without protection, but plants return the following spring following mild freezes. Provide a fertile, well drained soil and full sunlight.
