Red Hot Tecoma is the plant you want if you are looking to stop traffic and invite every hummingbird in the neighborhood over for a visit. This stunning, compact shrub stays much more manageable than its wild cousins, typically reaching about 4 feet tall and wide, making it a perfect fit for even smaller garden borders. It absolutely craves the full, intense sun, soaking up that Arizona heat to produce a non-stop show of fiery, trumpet-shaped crimson blooms from spring right until the first frost. What I love most is its rugged nature; once those roots are established, it is remarkably drought-tolerant and stands up well to our local pressure, as it is naturally deer and rabbit resistant. For a low-maintenance splash of “wow” that thrives where other plants sizzle, this is the neighborly advice youve been looking for.
