Description
El Niño® Desert Orchid
Chitalpa
This plant is practically a unicorn. It’s a hybrid of two incredible North American natives - desert willow and catalpa. This resulted in absolutely lovely flowers that somehow look both like orchids and snapdragons, but are way easier to care for than either of those plants. You’ll get to enjoy these sweetly scented blooms starting in late spring or early summer, depending on where you live, and then sporadically throughout the summer.
