The Desert Willow is a beautifully striking tree that flourishes with minimal care, adding charm to southwestern landscapes year-round. Even in winter, when it sheds its leaves, the tree exhibits an attractive architectural silhouette to admire. Its abundant, fragrant flowers, reminiscent of orchids, attract hummingbirds and butterflies, creating a delightful sight to enjoy.
The ‘Bubba’ cultivar stands out for its remarkable resilience and strength. It showcases exceptional resistance to heat, drought, and even cold temperatures. With its broader, greener leaves, it offers a fuller, more vibrant appearance compared to other desert willow cultivars. Plus, even though ‘Bubba’ enjoys a long blooming season, it produces fewer seed pods than some of its counterparts, keeping things neat and tidy.
