Sweet Bubba - Desert Willow - 2 Gallon

The Desert Willow is mostly seen grown as a small to medium tree, but it can also be shaped and trimmed to stay in the larger shrub type form. Its leaves are very narrow and flowers are a striking dark purple that resemble the shape of a trumpet flower. You will see hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees attracted to this plant as it is very pollinator friendly! These plants are used often in rock gardens or waterwise gardens due to their ability to thrive in super hot and dry conditions where they do not have to rely on a frequent supply of irrigation. Its excellent drought tolerance and low upkeep make it a great choice!
