Common Name: Desert Willow – Bubba Botanical name: Chilopsis Linearis Type: Tree Light Requirement: Sun Water Requirement: Low Height: 10 to 15 feet Width/Spacing: 10 to 15 ft Flower Color: Pink, purple Blooming Period: Summer into fall Plant Form or Habit: Upright shrub/small tree Foliage Color and Texture: Deciduous, willow-like light green Butterfly or bird attracter: Butterflies, insects, birds Deer Resistant: Moderate Plant Use: Ornamental tree The Desert Willow 'Bubba' has become one of the most popular Chilopsis linearis cultivars because of it's beautiful and fragrant trumpet shaped pink-burgundy flowers. The Desert Willow produces large clusters of flowers towards the tips of the branches which persist from late spring to early fall. This cultivar of Desert Willow is also popular because it does not typically produce seed pods. Desert Willows have airy and rounded to spreading crowns that can be utilized as a large shrub or pruned into tree form. The Desert Willow is highly tolerant of drought and heat and performs best in sunny, dry or well drained sites. For landscapes that do not have the optimal drainage for Desert Willows then raised beds can be built. The leaves on a Desert Willow have a soft and fine texture that measure 5 to 7 inches long and 1/4 to 1/2 wide. In the fall Desert Willows produce a simple yellow color. The Desert Willow is an excellent choice for courtyards, patios and west Texas themed landscapes. Despite its name, this species is not related to willows.
