Tecoma Stans Thailand – Yellow Bells

Non-Stop Golden Blooms for the Arabian Sun Tecoma Stans ‘Thailand’ is a premium, compact version of the classic Yellow Bells. Specially favored in the UAE for its ability to produce clusters of bright, trumpet-shaped flowers almost all year round, this “Thai” variety stays bushier and more manageable than its wild cousins. It’s the ultimate choice for a vibrant, low-maintenance flowering hedge or a stunning standalone shrub.

The Tecoma Stans ‘Thailand’ (also known as Yellow Elder or Yellow Bells) is a superstar of UAE landscaping. While the standard Tecoma stans can become leggy, the Thailand variety is bred for a denser, more ornamental habit. Its lush green foliage provides a beautiful backdrop for the constant explosion of golden-yellow flowers that thrive even in the peak of the Middle Eastern summer.

Why the “Thailand” Variety is Superior for UAE Gardens:

• Continuous Flowering: Unlike many plants that only bloom in spring, this variety can flower year-round in the UAE, provided it receives adequate water.

• Compact & Bushy: It naturally grows thicker from the base, making it much better for privacy screening and hedges than the standard variety.

• Heat & Salt Tolerant: It is incredibly resilient against the UAE’s harsh sun and can handle the saline conditions often found in coastal areas like JBR or Saadiyat Island.

• Attracts Pollinators: The nectar-rich yellow trumpets are a favorite for local sunbirds and butterflies, bringing life to your garden.
