  • Description

  • Notes

Burgundy Lace Desert Willow has an open, airy structure that sets this this small tree or large shrub apart in the garden. The willowy pendant branches display long, narrow leaves of soft green, and fragrant, burgundy, trumpet-shaped flowers are on display late spring into summer. Deciduous. Grows about 15 to 20 feet tall and wide; needs to be pruned to form a canopy, if one is desired. Attracts hummingbirds.
