Tecoma stans (Yellow Trumpetbush) is a fast-growing, sun-loving shrub that produces stunning clusters of bright yellow trumpet-shaped flowers for much of the year in warm climates. It is quite drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal care beyond occasional pruning to maintain shape. Plant in full sun for best flowering and expect it to attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies.
