Tecoma stans (Esperanza 'Gold Star')
$ 14.98
Also known as Yellow Bells.
‘Gold Star’ Esperanza is a mid-size shrub featuring yellow bell-shaped flowers. It is heat and drought tolerant once established and our summers are not a problem for it. It is hardy to approx. 20 degrees. While we have seen it grown successfully in North Texas, it might have to be protected in the winter. Or treated as an annual. It makes a good container plant as well.
