Hamelia cuprea - Bahama Firebush
Cute yellow bell-like flowers! If you want yellow to get involved in the design, then you've got to add Bahama firebush. Similar in growth to the scarlet-flowered one, you can keep it trimmed below seven feet. Large leaves make it good for screening. Don't hedge it; trim it naturally, and it will flower much more. Pollinator-friendly flowers during the rainy season. Great butterfly attractor.
