shrubby trumpet flower · Tecoma stans
Also known as: yellow elder; yellow bells
Yellow trumpetbush is ideal for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance ornamental shrub. Key care needs include full sun exposure and well-drained soil to flourish. Notably drought-tolerant, yellow trumpetbush requires minimal watering once established, making it a suitable choice for regions with water scarcity. Pruning is beneficial for encouraging bushier growth and flowering but isn't strictly necessary. Overwatering or poor drainage can lead to root issues, representing a primary care point to monitor.
