Pentalinon luteum
Wild Allamanda or Hammock Viper's Tail is a vigorous, evergreen vine that produces clusters of bright yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers nearly year-round in warm climates. It can climb or sprawl 10-20 ft, making it ideal for trellises, fences, or as a sprawling groundcover. This low-maintenance native is drought-tolerant once established and thrives in full sun to partial shade. Its cheerful blooms attract butterflies and hummingbirds, while its glossy foliage provides lush, tropical appeal to the landscape.
