This plant is frequently used as an ornamental plant and honey plant in Brazil and Argentina.[2] On the other hand, its flowers seem to be less popular with many hummingbirds than those of other Tabebuia, being visited mostly by the occasional generalist species like the gilded sapphire (Hylocharis chrysura).[3]
