The Most Vibrant and Easy-to-Grow Shrub

Rarely will you find such an easy-care and brightly-colored shrub as the Sundance Esperanza. The trumpet-shaped blooms come in a bold and sunny yellow, emitting a slight fragrance that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. The flowers last all summer, typically blooming from April to the first frost.

Among the flowers, the olive-green foliage grows upright with a fern-like appearance. The bark varies from pale brown to gray in color. In the fall, the plant produces pods with papery and winged seeds.

The Sundance Esperanza is a deciduous perennial that grows best in warm and tropical climates. In cooler areas, some gardeners may choose to grow it as an annual, thanks to its vibrant appearance. It works best in mass plantings, hedges, rock gardens, containers as patio plants, and Mediterranean-style gardens.

Once planted, the Sundance Esperanza is self-cleaning and requires very little care. Compared to other Tecoma cultivars, its one of the most cold-hardy and drought-resistant varieties available. A speedy grower, youll have an eye-catching and thriving shrub in no time!

Planting & Care

Planting: Before planting your Tecoma shrub, ensure the site selected has enough room for the plant once it reaches maturity, as its a fast grower. Choose a location with full sun as the plant is a desert native. At least six hours of sun is preferable, though the plant is shade tolerant. Without enough sun, the shrub produces fewer blooms.

Water: Grow your Tecoma in moderately moist, well-draining soil. The plant doesnt like wet feet and too-moist soil can lead to root rot. To add better drainage to your soil, mix in some compost or other organic matter to your soil before planting. Water weekly, or more often in times of extreme drought.

Maintenance: Once Tecoma plants are established, they require very little maintenance. To get a bushier plant and more blooms, pinch off spent flowers and seed pods. If the plant gets damaged, it responds well to being cut back in the winter. No fertilizer is required for growing your Tecoma.
