Description
Large deciduous shrub to small tree. (There is one in McFarland 30\'+tall.) Its long narrow leaves are willow-like. Its flowers are fragrant, pink to lavender. They appear in May and keep coming until Sept. or frost. Native near waterways in Mojave and Col. desert. Likes moderate water and sun. Does best inland and in desert. Easy to grow. It\'s nice looking and fast. The leaf tips will freeze each winter, ours have lived through -4 deg. F. in containers with little damage. It has a nice deciduous form. Can be pruned to make a weeping willow effect. (A weeping willow with 1-2\"pink-purple catalpa-like flowers!) Plant and stems look dead when dormant. Do not pull out the first winter. Hummingbirds live in this most of the summer. A favorite in the garden all summer.
