Drought Desert Willow Seeds
Desert Willow is a graceful, drought-tolerant ornamental tree known for its narrow willow-like foliage and abundant trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom from late spring through summer. Despite its common name, it is not a true willow but a flowering tree well suited to warm, dry climates. Ideal for xeriscapes, pollinator gardens, streetscapes, and landscape focal points, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil with minimal maintenance once established.
