Common Name: Chitalpa Botanical name: Chilopsos x Catalpa Plant Type: Tree Light Requirement: Full sun Water Requirement: Hardiness/Zone: 7 - 9 Heat/Drought Tolerance: Height: Width/Spacing: Flower Color: One-inch light pink and white trumpets are centered with purple-streaked yellow landing strips for bees and hummingbirds Blooming Period: Summer, spring & fall Plant Form or Habit: deciduous, mid-sized tree Foliage Color and Texture: Bright apple-green lanceshaped leaves Butterfly or bird attracter: Hummingbirds Deer Resistant: Plant Use: Ornamental, Pests and diseases: The American native plants Catalpa bignoides and Chilopsis linearis were crossed to create this rugged, but garden-worthy hybrid, sometimes listed as x Chitalpa tashkentensis. There is a light fragrance to the funneled blooms that hummingbirds sup from all summer long. Its willowy limbs arch upwards to create an oval silhouette that bends safely to strong winds. It is reported that the 'Pink Dawn' cultivar produces more ruffled flowers than the 'White Cloud' variety. For all its graces, its best may well be that this sterile blooming tree produces no seeds – therefore no Chitalpa weeds in the garden beds. Chitalpa 'Pink Dawn is an attractive small to medium sized ornamental tree that seems to have inherited the best features of both parents, being both beautiful and ideally suited to most of the soils and climates of the American Southwest. Among the best features of 'Pink Dawn are the abundant clusters of showy pale pink flowers with each cluster containing from 15 to 40 flowers. The 1 inch long flowers have a funnel-shaped throat with conspicuous purple nectar guides that line the inside and emerge to give orchid striping to the flared pink petal lobes. Flowering initiates in May in Southern California and continues well into late fall Source of data: http://www.maggiesgarden.com/Plant_Profiles/Plant_This/Chitalpa/chitalpa.html http://www.smgrowers.com/info/chitalpa.asp Extension programs service people of all ages regardless of socioeconomic level, race, color, sex, religion, disability, or national origin.
