Plant description

Horticultural selection from Chilopsis linearis. This Desert Willow has gorgeous pink to deep red flowers that bloom in the summer. It is tolerant of most soils but does well in sandy soils. It is found naturally in desert like areas so it doesn't need a lot of water. The flowers are fragrant and it makes a great addition to a hummingbird garden especially because of the beauty of the flowers.
