Tecoma stans 'Orange Jubilee'

The 'Orange Jubilee' leaves showcase a beautiful, deep, glossy green color that really stands out. The flowers are a lovely orange, with long, tubular, bell-shaped blossoms that add a cheerful touch to any garden. While it's usually considered semi-evergreen, in Texas, it tends to drop its leaves in winter. But don’t worry—it bounces back wonderfully in the spring unless there’s an extremely cold winter. If winter does not freeze it to the ground, it's a good idea to give it a little trim to about 3 inches to promote even fuller growth.

This delightful shrub grows quickly and loves basking in the full, hot sun. It's perfect for areas with southwestern exposure that enjoy lots of reflected heat. The 'Orange Jubilee' is versatile and can thrive in various soil types, growing to heights of over 10 feet and spreading 6 feet wide. Plus, it’s very forgiving when it comes to water needs, making it a fantastic low-maintenance choice for any gardener.

In North Texas, you can expect the Esperanza to reach a maximum height of about 5 to 6 feet, making it a wonderful addition to your landscape.
