We planted a Desert Willow in front of our bedroom window about five years ago. It is a popular yard tree all over the State because it requires little care and produces nice flowers. The Desert Four O'clock also produces copious flowers early and throughout the Summer, but it is often seen as an invasive weed that is very hard to get rid of because of its deep tap root and rapid growth.
I am especially fond of both plants because it was such a treat to find them both in bloom during long hikes in the Chihuahuan Desert arroyos around where we lived in southern New Mexico.
