Desert-willow

Plant in well-drained, lean, alkaline to neutral soil in full sun; desert willow is one of the most beautiful flowering native trees of the Southwest and South Texas, producing masses of showy, orchid-like flowers in pink, lavender, rose, white, or bicolor from late spring through fall in multiple flushes — a spectacular hummingbird and butterfly plant. Despite its name it is not a willow at all but rather a member of the Bignonia family, closely related to catalpa. The long, willow-like leaves emerge late in spring and drop early in fall. It is remarkably drought tolerant once established, thriving on natural rainfall alone in zone 7–11. The decorative seed pods hang on through winter. Many named cultivars are available with different flower colors and forms; 'Dark Storm,' 'Bubba,' and 'Art's Seedless' are popular selections for southern gardens. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 120–240 дюймів Висота: 120–300 дюймів Дні до схожості: 14–28 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 18–27°C
