VIRTUAL EXHIBIT
Tecoma ‘Red Hot’
After years of scrutinizing in the test garden, Civano Growers proudly present Tecoma ‘Red Hot’. Red Hot was handpicked by our horticulturists for its quality, form and health. The Red Hot is one of our 2018 shrub introductions that has many unique qualities. As the name suggests, the plant is characterized by its intense flower color. Best of all, this Tecoma reaches only 3-4 feet tall and wide at maturity, and it is root hardy to 15°F once established. The Red Hot has a long bloom season that is a favorite of hummingbirds and other pollinators. Plant it and sit back and enjoy the show!
'Joan Lionetti' Live Oak
Civano Growers pays homage to the founder of Tucson Clean and Beautiful, Joan Lionetti, by naming this unrivaled oak clone in her honor. This beautiful evergreen oak is praised for its fast growth, straight trunk and symmetrical canopy. Its superior form will provide any landscape with dense shade all year long. The tree prefers full sun and moderate water until established. It grows to 30’ tall at maturity. These noteworthy features, along with the tree's tough-as-nails demeanor and smaller structure make the Joan Lionetti Live Oak an ideal residential or streetscape tree.
‘Sweet Katie Burgundy' the Desert Willow
Our Desert Willow, ‘Sweet Katie Burgundy’, is a fast-growing prolific bloomer, that produces an abundance of showy flowers flush from spring to fall. The tree boasts very few seed pods. Unlike other Desert Willows, it has a uniform, compact growth habit and, though deciduous, the minimal presence of seedpods and tidy structure give it an exceptionally attractive winter appearance. This gem of a tree requires little care. It is drought tolerant once established and loves the sun. Best of all- it attracts hummingbirds and butterflies with it’s profusion of fragrant, orchid-like burgundy flowers.
