Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is a cross from Russia between Chilopsis linearis (Desert Willow) and Catalpa bignonioides. It is a rapidly growing deciduous tree, branching readily near its base with ascending branches that form a dense, broad, oval crown. It grows 20 to 25 feet tall with potentially equal spread. Large clusters of light pink flowers are flared, frilly funnels in late spring through summer. Minimum temperature: -10°F

By: Dancing Oaks Nursery

Russian bred and spawned by two American genera, Chilopsis and Catalpa, this stalwart, small deciduous tree debuts copious, upright exotic-looking floral clusters, each housing 15 to 40 light pink orchid-like blossoms. Ruffled margins and purple-lined yellowish throats embellish long blooming, one inch trumpet-shaped flowers to the delight of hummingbirds everywhere. With tapered tips and bases, soft shaggy hairs on the flip-sides and a glabrous finish, narrow lengthy green leaves clothe fast growing branches, which are close-set near the ground, then extend outward, casting a wide airy silhouette. Undemanding, water-thrifty and heat abiding, 'Pink Dawn' is equally at ease in modern planting schemes, cottage gardens or Mediterranean landscapes. Grows rapidly. Large Band.
