Shade - Desert Willow - Burgundy

The Burgundy Desert Willow has beautiful burgundy blooms. Adaptable and fast growing with no thorns and virtually no seed pods. Not a true willow, but the numerous narrow, shiny green leaves provide a willow-like appearance on these upright growing deciduous trees. Drought tolerant once mature, but moderate to ample water initially helps them to become well-rooted and permanently established. They will go winter dormant, losing their leaves for a short time, before leafing out and resuming their persistent spring and summer flowering.

Scientific name:  Chilopsis linearis ‘Burgundy’
