Tecoma stans is a species of flowering perennial shrub in the trumpet vine family, Bignoniaceae, that is native to the Americas. Common names include yellow trumpetbush, yellow bells, yellow elder, ginger-thomas
Tecoma stans seeds germinate readily in nature in sandy soils. You can start seeds directly into the soil if you live in a climate with warm, dry conditions. Because Tecoma stans is a drought tolerant species, excessive moisture for germination is not required.
