Willow Desert

Description: The Desert Willow is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree known for its graceful, willow-like foliage and showy, trumpet-shaped flowers. Despite its name, it's not a true willow but rather a member of the Bignonia family. It typically grows to heights of 15 to 30 feet (4.5 to 9 meters) tall, with a spread of 10 to 15 feet (3 to 4.5 meters) wide. The leaves are long, narrow, and lance-shaped, resembling those of true willows, and are a grayish-green color. In late spring through summer, Desert Willows produce clusters of fragrant, trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of pink, purple, or white, attracting pollinators like bees and hummingbirds. These blooms often have darker stripes or spots in the throat. Best Growing Zones: Desert Willows are well-suited to hot, arid climates and are typically grown in USDA hardiness zones 7 through 10. They thrive in regions with long, hot summers and mild winters, such as the southwestern United States and parts of Mexico. Desert Willows a
