Tecoma stans
A fast-growing, ornamental shrub or small tree known for its airy foliage and continuous clusters of bright yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom over a long season.
Commonly known as Yellow Elder or Esperanza, this vibrant plant is native to the tropical Americas and is beloved for its prolific, bell-shaped golden blooms that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. It features olive-green, serrated leaves and can be grown as either a large shrub or a small tree depending on how it is pruned. This species is exceptionally heat and drought-tolerant, making it a reliable choice for sunny, low-maintenance landscapes where it can bloom almost year-round in frost-free climates. After the flowers fade, it produces long, decorative seed pods that add further interest to its fast-growing, woody branches.
