Sundance Tecoma Plant
A Joyfully Sunny and Low-Maintenance Shrub The Sundance Esperanza may be the burst of cheer you’re looking for. The sunny yellow and trumpet-shaped blooms coat this fast-growing shrub, providing plenty of color for your landscape or garden. Along with the flowers, the fern-like leaves grow upright in an olive-green color. With the Sundance Tecoma, also called Esperanza, you’ll have color most of the growing season, blooming from spring until the first frost. Come fall, the plant produces seed pods and pale brown to dark gray bark. Butterflies and hummingbirds enjoy the slightly fragrant flowers, so this plant will fit right into wildlife gardens. The bush works well in containers for patio gardens, mass plantings, hedges, rock gardens, and Mediterranean-inspired landscapes. Native to the Sonoran Desert, the plant is very drought-tolerant and hardy to most soils. Compared to other Tecoma cultivars, the Sundance Esperance is the most-cold hardy and drought resistant.
