Desert Willow 'Hope'

Desert Willow 'Hope' (Chilopsis linearis 'Hope') brings a burst of desert charm to water-wise landscapes. This beautiful small tree or large shrub thrives where heat and sun dominate, rewarding gardeners with a long season of delicate white trumpet blooms from late spring through early fall. Its blossoms are not just pretty—they’re lightly fragrant and irresistible to hummingbirds and native bees. ‘Hope’ forms a graceful, airy canopy of narrow, willow-like leaves that rustle in the breeze, creating a cooling effect even in the hottest climates.

Once established, ‘Hope’ needs minimal care, making it a perfect fit for xeriscapes, pollinator gardens, and sunny patios. Whether as a striking specimen or a natural accent along dry streambeds, Desert Willow ‘Hope’ adds a touch of color and life to any southwestern-inspired garden.
