Tecoma x smithii 'Golden Trumpets' - This plant with golden yellow flowers that have a hint of orange on the backside and interior appeared in our cutting stock blocks of Tecoma x smithii. It is either a sport of Tecoma x smithii or a seedling hybrid that arose unnoticed in our block of Tecoma x smithii at the nursery. As with its parent it is an evergreen shrub that is smaller growing than Tecoma stans var. velutina (one of the parents or T. x smithii) It will likely grow 8-12 feet tall.
Plant in full sun and water occasionally.
This plant was a San Marcos Growers introduction in 2002 but due to lack of sales we discontinued this plant. For more information see our entry for Tecoma x smithii, which we continue to grow.
This information about Tecoma x smithii 'Golden Trumpets' displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
