🌳Native Desert Willow and the Best Variety for Your Yard

from Mountain Gardener with Ken & Lisa · host Ken Lain

Hey gardeners, Ken Lain here! Looking for a tough, beautiful native that hummingbirds adore? Let's talk Desert Willows! These beauties thrive from Prescott to Sedona, offering willow-shaped leaves and orchid-like flowers.   The native variety boasts lovely pink blooms, but be warned – it produces bean pods that can limit flowering. That's where the new introductions shine! Look for named varieties like 'Timeless Beauty' or 'Bubba' – these have been bred to be bean-less, giving you continuous waves of stunning flowers from late spring through autumn.   Plant them in full sun, water to establish, and then let them go – they're super drought-hardy. Their airy foliage and vibrant blooms make them a fantastic, low-care addition to any Arizona yard.   Subscribe for The Mountain Gardener updates!   🌳Ken Lain, The Mountain Gardener   #WattersGardenCenter, #TheMountain Gardener, #GardeningTips, #KenLain, #DesertWillow, #NativePlants, #HummingbirdGarden, #DroughtTolerant, #ArizonaGardening
