Ready to add a splash of vibrant yellow to your Prescott and surrounding area yard? The 'Sundance' Tecoma stans, also known as Yellow Bells or Esperanza, is a fantastic choice! This resilient and beautiful shrub thrives in our local climate, bringing a touch of desert charm with its cheerful trumpet-shaped blooms.
Growing to a practical size of 6 to 8 feet tall and wide, 'Sundance' Tecoma is perfect as a specimen plant, a backdrop in your garden, or even a stunning informal hedge. It absolutely loves the sun, so pick a spot where it can soak up at least six hours of direct sunlight each day for the most prolific flowering. For gardeners in USDA Zones 7 and 8, you'll be happy to know it's quite cold-hardy, though it may die back to the ground in colder winters, only to rebound beautifully in spring. Plus, it's considered moderately deer-resistant, offering a bit of peace of mind in areas where deer can be a nuisance.
When planting your 'Sundance' Tecoma, ensure good drainage. We recommend blending Watters Premium Mulch generously with your garden's native soil. This improves soil structure and helps retain essential moisture, which is especially important for our drier climate. For an extra boost to get your plant established and blooming profusely, mix in a dose of Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food into the planting hole. This provides a balanced nutrient kick, encouraging strong root development and an abundance of those beautiful yellow flowers.
