ALMANDA YELLOW

Allamanda Yellow (Allamanda cathartica), commonly referred to as Golden Trumpet, is a striking tropical ornamental plant admired for its lush foliage and large, vivid yellow trumpet-shaped flowers. Native to South America, this fast-growing plant can be trained as a climbing vine or grown as a dense, bushy shrub depending on pruning and support.

The glossy, leathery leaves are arranged in whorls and provide an attractive backdrop to the bright yellow blooms, which appear abundantly during warm seasons—often from spring through fall. The flowers are typically 7–10 cm wide and have a gentle, sweet fragrance.

Ideal for warm, humid climates, Allamanda thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It is commonly used in gardens, along trellises, fences, or as a colorful hedge. While visually appealing, it’s important to note that all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested and may cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals.

Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and more flowers, making it a popular choice for tropical and subtropical landscaping.
