Esperanza (Tecoma stans) goes by many names. The esperanza plant may be known as yellow bells, hardy yellow trumpet, or yellow alder. Regardless of what you call it, the tropical native is easily recognized by its large masses of lightly scented, golden-yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers amid the dark green foliage. These can be seen blooming from spring through fall. While esperanza perennials are grown in the landscape as shrubs or container plants for their beauty, they were once quite popular for their medicinal use as well—including a beer that was made from the roots.

Esperanza plants need to be grown in warm conditions that closely mimic that of their native environments. In other areas they are usually grown in container where they can be overwintered indoors.

When planning esperanza seeds (two per pot) may be planted about an eighth of an inch deep and misted with water. They should germinate within two weeks.

Esperanza care is easy. Since these are relatively low-maintenance plants once established, esperanza care is minimal and not too difficult.
