Chilopsis linearis 'Monhews' |
Add To My List |
Timeless Beauty Desert Willow |
This deciduous tree will grow 15-20' tall and wide. It has narrow, willow-like leaves and tubular, fragrant, pale lavender/burgundy flowers that bloom from spring to fall on the ends of branches, attracting hummingbirds. No seed pods and therefore less cleanup. Water occasionally once the tree is established. Trunk becomes shaggy and twisted with maturity.
