About this plant
Yellow Bells (Tecoma stans), also called yellow trumpetbush or yellow elder, is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to the Americas. It has bright green, divided leaves with toothed leaflets and large clusters of golden-yellow, bell-shaped flowers, followed by long, narrow seed pods.
It is one of the easiest flowering plants for Dubai. It thrives in full sun and heat, tolerates drought and poor, sandy soil once established, and flowers in waves through most of the year. It grows quickly and can become leggy, so regular pruning and removing seed pods keep it dense and flowering. It can self-seed in irrigated beds.
It works as a flowering screen, a hedge, a small garden tree, along boundary walls and in large containers. We offer it in a wide range of sizes, from 0.6–0.8 m shrubs up to 2–2.5 m tall plants.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Yellow Bells healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Full sun. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 2 days in summer for young plants, 2 times a week once established; less in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: well-draining sandy or loamy soil; tolerates poor ground. Feeding: a flowering-shrub fertilizer every 6–8 weeks from spring to autumn. Common mistake: leaving the seed pods on, which reduces flowering and can lead to unwanted seedlings. Where it works: flowering screens, hedges, small garden trees, boundary walls and large containers.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Not listed in the ASPCA database (checked under Yellow Bells, Yellow Trumpetbush, Yellow Elder and Tecoma stans). Check with your vet if you have pets.
