Abstract
Abstract ‘Marfa Lace', ‘Alpine’, and ‘Tejas’ are new desert willow [Chilopsis linearis (Cav.) Sweet.] cultivars selected at the Texas A&M Research and Extension Center at El Paso and approved for release by the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station. Desert willow is a deciduous flowering shrub or tree native to the southwestern United States. The species exhibits considerable variability in floral color, but this generally has not been exploited through selection or breeding. The advantages of these new selections include large, semi-double flowers in ‘Marfa Lace’, large leaves and dark flowers in ‘Alpine’, and even larger flowers in ‘Tejas’. To my knowledge, no other semi-double desert willow has been released.
