Pink Trumpet Bush (Tabebuia heterophylla) – Add a Burst of Color to Your Arizona Landscape

The Pink Trumpet Bush, scientifically known as Tabebuia heterophylla, is an ornamental beauty from the Caribbean and Central America, perfect for adding striking color and lush foliage to warm-climate gardens. Known for its spectacular display of trumpet-shaped pink flowers that bloom in late winter to early spring, this tree brings a tropical flair and vibrant wildlife appeal to landscapes in USDA zones 9b to 11.

Key Features of Pink Trumpet Bush

Growing to a manageable height of 15 to 25 feet, with a spread of 10 to 15 feet, Pink Trumpet Bush forms a rounded canopy of glossy, dark green leaves that offer year-round greenery in mild climates. Its show-stopping pink flowers emerge in clusters, often before the leaves, creating a dense, dramatic floral display that attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. This tree is especially valued in Arizona for its moderate drought tolerance and minimal maintenance requirements, making it ideal for water-conscious gardening.

Although moderately drought-tolerant once established, occasional deep watering during Arizona’s hottest months can help maintain its vibrant foliage and blooms. Pink Trumpet Bush benefits from minimal pruning to shape, making it a low-maintenance choice for busy gardeners.
