The bright yellow flowers of the Chicklet® Gold Esperanza Trumpet Bush shine in a landscape. The botanical name is Tecoma stans 'SMNTSC’, and the tubular flowers open so wide that the petals curl back. The blooms are bright yellow with golden yellow accents in the interior. Enjoy the flowers throughout the summer and fall. The flowers bloom in clusters on sturdy, upright, and well-branched stems. Green foliage with serrated edges complements the blooms and gives the shrub a full appearance.
The flowers make this Trumpet Bush a natural focal point or specimen. Include the Chicklet® Gold Esperanza Tecoma in a border, landscape, or near the back of a mixed bed. Grow this beauty in a container to add color and privacy to a deck or balcony. The showy flowers are a pollinator favorite and attract hummingbirds. This shrub is easy to maintain and generally disease- and pest-free.
Chicklet® Gold Tecoma Care
Plant Trumpet Bush in full sun and in rich, moist, well-drained soil with a neutral pH for best performance. New plants need consistent water, while established plants prefer to dry out before getting water. Fertilize at the beginning, middle, and end of the growing season.
Prune the plant in early spring before new growth appears to remove overgrowth and maintain a pleasing shape. The Chicklet® Gold Esperanza blooms on new wood, so prune early to ensure flowering is not diminished. This deciduous shrub continues to rebloom without deadheading.
Chicklet® Gold Tecoma Spacing
Chicklet® Gold Esperanza Trumpet Bush grows 3 to 6 feet tall and 3 feet wide. Space plants 3 feet apart to create a dense, consistent planting.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
