Desert Willow Tree Seeds Chilopsis Linearis
Desert Willow Tree Seeds β Chilopsis linearis (Cav.) Sweet. Desert-willow is a 15-40 ft., slender-twigged tree or large shrub, often with a leaning, twisting trunk and an open, spreading crown. Leaves are deciduous, willow-like, light green, 4-12 inches long and about 1/3 inch wide, arranged alternately or oppositely. The funnel-shaped flowers are 1-1.5 inches long, with 5 lobes, dark pink or purple and often with white or yellow and purple streaks in the throat, borne in terminal racemes. By early autumn, violet-scented blossoms give way to slender seedpods 6-10 inches long that persist on the branches.
Desert-willow is drought-tolerant and adapted to desert washes, best with just enough water to keep blooming and green through the warm months. It is native to USA (south-central Texas) and Mexico (Nuevo Leon, Zacatecas), west to southern California and Baja California. Many cultivars exist with varying flower colors and leaf sizes. It belongs to the Bignoniaceae family and is related to catalpa trees, Tecoma stans, and Campsis radicans.

from 74 reviewsGreat product and delivery
Really nice soil and awesome service
Never used because I ordered the wrong Water Filter. Mike was very helpful with the return and refund. Excellent Customer Service.
Great service. Soil is what I wanted and it off loaded exactly where I asked.
Plants are doing really well with this soil. Deep and rich looking soil, plants seem really happy. Much more cost effective (and no plastic bag waste) compared to buying bags of soil mix from a store.
Thank you for shipping so soon. Great service
The quality of the craftsmanship is superb! My formula one fan absolutely loves it!!!!
Worked like an absolute charm!
These markers were perfect for ones that we were replacing. The quality is great and they seem sturdy. The gold detail stands out and is visible from a distance. Shipping was very fast.
Good solution. The little flies have disappeared. We were sure to mist/moisten the surface of each plant once a day for 4 or 5 days, after the initial application of the nematodes, to keep the little guys mobile and able to get to any remaining eggs. So, go for it!
Plant was well packed and shipment was very fast. Received a very nice fully rooted plant in the pot!
The organic garden soil is doing very well in my garden bed. The company was professional, nice, and accommodating to my needs. They provide many types of things for your landscaping at a reasonable price.
