One of the most striking features of Arizona Yellow Bells is its large and trumpet-shaped flowers. These flowers typically come in shades of brilliant yellow, creating a visually captivating and sunny display of color. The trumpet-shaped blooms not only provide visual appeal but also attract pollinators like hummingbirds and bees, making the plant ecologically beneficial.
Arizona Yellow Bells shrubs typically reach heights of 6 to 12 feet, with a similar spread, creating a well-proportioned and upright form. They are well-adapted to Arizona's hot and arid climate, thriving in full sun and requiring well-drained soil. This plant is drought-tolerant once established, making it a valuable choice for water-wise landscaping and xeriscaping.
