| Botanical Name | Tecoma x 'Bells of Fire'™ |
| Description | Unlike the traditional yellow variety, 'Bells of Fire' offers a more compact habit and striking red flowers. It is exceptionally well-suited for the Houston metro area's intense summer heat. While it adapts to various soil conditions, it requires excellent drainage. In areas with heavy clay, planting in raised beds or incorporating expanded shale is recommended, as it will not tolerate "wet feet" or standing water during rainy seasons. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Minimum 6+ hours for best bloom production) |
| Height x Width | 3-5 ft. Tall x 3-4 ft. Wide |
| Water | Low to Medium; drought tolerant once established, but blooms better with regular watering. |
| Zones | 9 - 11 (Root hardy in Zone 8 with mulching) |
| Fertilization | Use a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring and mid-summer to encourage continuous blooming. |
| Pruning | Remove spent flower spikes to promote re-blooming. Cut back significantly in late winter to refresh growth. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate to High |
