Esperanza (Yellow Bells) is a root hardy, woody plant that has yellow tubular flowers that are blooming all over South Texas right now. The plant has light-green foliage on an upright shrub. Gold Star is the most popular selection. On most sites, it reaches about 5 feet tall by summers end. The older versions, yellow and orange, do not bloom as well and may reach 8 or 9 feet tall by summers end. Yellow Bells is especially desirable for deer country because the pests do not seem to like it as a food source. The deer will, however, eat the blooms in a drought.
