Tecoma, commonly known as Esperanza or Yellow Bells, is a tropical flowering shrub known for its bright yellow blooms, fast growth, and upright, open habit.
Tecoma stans features medium to deep green foliage paired with clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers in vibrant golden yellow. The blooms are produced at the tips of branches, creating a layered display of color above the foliage. It grows as an upright to slightly spreading shrub, developing a more open, airy structure that can be shaped with pruning or allowed to grow naturally. In warm climates, it flowers repeatedly throughout the growing season, providing consistent color in high-light outdoor environments. Its rapid growth and strong bloom presence make it well-suited for hedges, screens, and landscape plantings where quick coverage and color are desired. Esperanza, is widely used in tropical and subtropical landscapes for its durability, fast establishment, and ability to deliver reliable color in hot, sunny conditions.
