Desert Willow features gorgeous clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers in late spring, blooming white petals with vibrant hot pink highlights and golden-yellow throats. These striking blooms are followed by decorative seed pods that remain well into winter, adding seasonal interest. The tree’s emerald, green foliage stays lush throughout the growing season, offering a soft, flowing texture without fall color. While visually stunning, its seed pods can be messy on walkways and may require occasional cleanup.
With its upright, spreading habit and fine-textured foliage, Desert Willow stands out as a beautiful, multi-stemmed deciduous tree. Only prune after flowering to preserve seasonal blooms. Ideal for xeriscaping, it thrives in full sun and requires minimal upkeep. Bonus: deer typically avoid it, making it a great choice for rural or wildland-adjacent gardens.
Reaching up to 30 feet tall and wide at maturity, Desert Willow is an excellent option for smaller landscapes or spaces near power lines, thanks to its low canopy clearance. It grows at a moderate pace and prefers well-drained soil with deep, infrequent watering once established. Desert Willow is highly drought-tolerant and flourishes in hot, arid climates, making it a resilient and rewarding addition to any sun-soaked garden!
