Bubba Desert Willow Tree Form

Chilopsis linearis ‘Bubba’

Bubba Desert Willow Tree Form is a striking ornamental known for its graceful shape and summer-long display of fragrant, trumpet-like flowers in shades of purple and pink. Unlike the standard desert willow, the ‘Bubba’ selection boasts denser branching and darker green foliage, giving it a lush appearance while staying water-wise. It grows up to 25 feet in height and 20 feet in width, forming a rounded canopy that provides light shade without overwhelming smaller landscapes.

  • Deciduous tree
  • Moderate to fast growth rate
  • Trumpet-shaped purple-pink flowers all summer
  • Dense, deep green foliage (improved over standard desert willow)
  • Highly drought- and heat-tolerant

Plant Desert Willow Bubba in full sun with well-drained soil for best results. This tree thrives in the Texas heat while shrugging off drought, poor soils, and intense sun. Hardy in USDA zones 7 through 9, it’s a stunning choice that brings color and resilience to Texas landscapes.
