Esperanza (Tecoma stans) is an attractive, dry deciduous shrub native to southern Bolivia and northwestern Argentina with pinnate foliage and trumpet-shaped, bright red flowers. Tecoma stans 'Chicklet Red' is a compact selection with exceptional flower power, so it will add a lot to landscapes either as a landscape shrub or as a patio plant. It has the same fun flowers as a trumpet vine but isn't invasive, and will grow 3-6' tall and 2-4' wide. It will do best in full sun. The rocking red flowers just keep on coming– and so do the hummingbirds.All Proven Winners® plants are legally propagated, healthy and vigorous, true to name, and tagged with color pictures and growing information.
