FREE: 100+ Seeds Yellow Bells

The listing, 100+ Seeds Yellow Bells has ended.

This listing is for 100+ seeds of Yellow Bells (Tecoma stans). It has many names, also known as yellow Esperanza, hardy yellow trumpet, or yellow alder. This tropical native is easily recognized by its large clusters 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. Esperanza plants can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions, it’s preferable that esperanza be given fertile, well-draining soil, and planted in full sun. They are usually planted in mid-spring, long after any threat of frost has ceased. The planting hole should be about two to three times the size of the root ball (when planted outdoors) and just as deep as the pots they were grown in. Allow at least three to four feet spacing between multiple plants. Please note these have not been tested for viability, but they were hand-harvested and kept dry 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 to three weeks.
