Desert Willow
Chilopsis linearis
Deciduous throughout the colder months, dropping its leaves in late fall. Beautiful trumpet-shaped flowers, occurring spring to fall, attract hummingbirds and are pollinated by carpenter bees and bumblebees. Look for selections that offer a variety of flower colors, branching structures, and leaf forms.
