Plant Features

Sun Trumpets® Yellow Tecoma looks like a trumpet vine but grows like a bush. This heat-loving, well-branched, compact plant produces gorgeous, yellow, horn-shaped flowers all year long. Its perfect for containers! It grows best in well-drained, moist soil; however, it can tolerate drought once established. Tecoma plants attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds!

Planting Instructions:

  • - Can be grown during any frost-free period when daytime temperatures are consistently above 60°F

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.5

Watering Specifics:

  • - Once established, water deeply when the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry
  • - Drought-tolerant once established but benefits from occasional deep watering

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring
  • - Supplement with a water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season for better flowering

Pruning and Training:

  • - Pinch back growing tips to encourage bushier growth
  • - Remove spent flowers to promote continuous blooming

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Watch for common pests like aphids and whiteflies

Light Requirements:

  • - Thrives in with 6+ hours of direct sun

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Can tolerate heat and drought once established

Companion Plants for Tecoma:

  • - Lantana: These drought-tolerant, colorful plants complement Tecoma’s bold flowers
  • - Salvia: With their spiky blooms and similar water needs, salvias make a great pairing
  • - Hibiscus: The large, tropical blooms of hibiscus provide a stunning contrast to Tecoma’s flowers
  • - Butterfly Bush: These shrubs attract pollinators and add height and texture to the garden
  • - Pentas: Their star-shaped flowers and vibrant colors work well in sunny, warm gardens alongside Tecoma

Pretty plant

The plant looks healthy and I look forward to watching it grow.

Lovely and hardy

Arrived beautifully with a flower growing. A critter munched it down to the stem but it grew right back out with some fertilizer. A kind customer service rep gave me advice on how to save it.
