Esperanza, often called Yellow Bells, is a lovely deciduous shrub that typically grows between 3 and 6 feet tall in the US, with some southern varieties reaching up to 9 feet. This charming plant features several slender, upright branches adorned with trumpet-shaped yellow flowers that beautifully contrast its lance-shaped, olive-green leaves. In the autumn, you'll notice long, slender pods that add character to the plant.
This gem of a plant thrives naturally from southwest Texas to Arizona, extending all the way through Mexico and Central America to South America, reaching even northern Argentina, and from southern Florida to much of the Caribbean. One special variety, Tecoma stans var. angustata, is notably shorter and shows off impressive drought and cold tolerance compared to some tropical varieties, making it a fantastic choice for the southwestern US and nearby Mexico.
The name "Yellow Bells" comes from its bright, eye-catching yellow blossoms. Its drought resistance and stunning appearance have made Esperanza a cherished choice in landscaping. Belonging to the Bignoniaceae family, Esperanza is a relative of other lovely plants, such as desert willow, catalpa, cross-vine, trumpet-creeper, and more.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
