needs		 Low – Moderate
water
info		 Water this plant infrequently, when the top two inches or so of soil feel dry. Usually this will mean every week or two in dry weather. If you establish this pattern over several years, then you can cut back to watering every four to six weeks in dry weather. Use drippers, emitters, or a slow stream of water so that it doesn’t run off; allow the water to trickle all the way down through the deepest layers of soil. This plant will look more lush if given water every two to four weeks during dry weather once established. In a pot slowly water the entire surface until water comes out of the bottom of your pot.

Growing Notes

Established plants may die back from frost but will regrow when warm weather sets in in spring. Very tough and resilient, and floriferous.
Surprisingly successful in banana belts of coastal central California, such as the east side of San Francisco. Exceptional performance in hot inland regions.

Special Interest

Tecoma stans is nontoxic itself, but the honey from its flowers is poisonous nonetheless.
