Bring a burst of fiery color to your Prescott and surrounding area landscape with the 'Bells of Fire' Tecoma! This exceptional variety of Esperanza offers show-stopping red to orange-red trumpet-shaped flowers that will add a tropical flair to your garden from spring through fall.
'Bells of Fire' is a more compact Tecoma, typically growing to a manageable 3 to 6 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide. This makes it an ideal choice for a vibrant accent plant, a stunning low hedge, or even a showpiece in a large container on your patio. Like its Tecoma relatives, 'Bells of Fire' thrives in full sun, needing at least six hours of direct sunlight daily to produce its abundant blooms. It's well-suited for our local USDA Zones 7 and 8, proving quite resilient to our temperature fluctuations. Plus, you'll appreciate its moderate deer resistance, offering some protection against those garden visitors. As a bonus, its vivid blooms are irresistible to hummingbirds and butterflies, bringing your garden to life with active pollinators!
To ensure your 'Bells of Fire' Tecoma flourishes, plant it in well-drained soil. We highly recommend amending your garden's native soil with Watters Premium Mulch. This not only enhances soil structure but also helps maintain crucial moisture levels. For a robust start and continuous vibrant blooms, mix Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food into the planting hole. This provides the balanced nutrition needed for strong root development and a spectacular floral display.
