Yellow Bells is a showy, fast-growing shrub or small tree native to the Americas. It is known for its striking clusters of bright yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers. Here are the ideal growing conditions:

1. Sunlight

  • Full sun is essential for optimal growth and flowering. It thrives in bright, direct sunlight and performs best when it receives at least 6 hours of sun daily. It can tolerate partial shade but may produce fewer flowers.

2. Soil

  • Prefers well-drained soil. It can grow in various soil types, including sandy, loamy, and rocky soils. While it is tolerant of poor soil, it does best in moderately fertile soil with good drainage. It does not thrive in heavy, waterlogged soil.

3. Watering

  • Drought-tolerant once established but will grow more vigorously and bloom better with regular watering, especially during hot, dry periods. Water deeply during its first growing season to establish roots. Afterward, water occasionally, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

4. Temperature

  • Thrives in warm to hot climates and can tolerate extreme heat. It is sensitive to frost and may die back to the ground in freezing temperatures, but it will often regrow in the spring. It is hardy in USDA zones 8-11 but may need protection or replanting in cooler areas.

5. Wildlife Attractor

  • The large, trumpet-shaped flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. It is also deer-resistant.

6. Blooming

  • Blooms from spring through fall, with peak flowering in summer. The plant produces clusters of bright yellow flowers that stand out against its green foliage.

7. Special Considerations

  • Fast-growing and can reach up to 10-25 feet in height and spread if left unpruned. It can be grown as a shrub or small tree.

Tecoma stans is a vibrant and low-maintenance plant that brings continuous color to gardens and landscapes while providing food for pollinators. Its heat tolerance and adaptability make it a great choice for desert gardens or areas with hot, dry climates.
