Bells of Fire 'Sparklette'

Bells of Fire™ Sparklette is a compact, heat-tolerant variety of the Tecoma plant, known for its fiery red-orange tubular flowers that bloom abundantly from spring through fall. A member of the trumpet vine family, this dwarf cultivar is a favorite in warm-weather gardens due to its long-lasting color and minimal maintenance requirements. It typically grows to about 2 to 3 feet in height and width, making it perfect for containers, borders, or small landscape spaces where a burst of tropical color is desired. Its vibrant blooms not only add visual interest but also attract pollinators like hummingbirds and butterflies.

This variety is well-suited for hot, sunny environments and thrives in USDA zones 8 through 11. Bells of Fire Sparklette is drought-tolerant once established, and its compact form requires little pruning to maintain a tidy appearance. Gardeners appreciate its resilience in challenging conditions, from high heat to dry spells, as well as its ability to rebloom continuously with minimal care. Its showy flowers and manageable size make it an ideal choice for adding bold color to patios, xeriscapes, or mixed garden beds.
