Chilopsis linearis' Bubba'

The Desert Willow is a remarkable tree that requires minimal care and adds year-round beauty to southwestern landscapes. It has an appealing architectural silhouette in winter, even when bare. Its profusion of fragrant, orchid-like flowers throughout the year attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. 

Named 'Bubba,' this cultivar is known for its strength and resilience. It can withstand high heat, drought, and cold, and its roots spread quickly. The tree's broad, green leaves give it a fuller appearance than other desert willow cultivars. Despite its long blooming season, 'Bubba' produces fewer seed pods than other varieties.
