The Ocotillo is a highly unique desert plant that derives its shape from several green-leafed stems that emerge from a common base, giving it a distinctly different look in any landscape. The Ocotillo is used in landscape design as both a focal point and an accent plant.  The most admired quality of the Ocotillo is its red spike shaped flowers atop the stalks of the plants that are very showy in summer months after rainfall.  

A desert native, Ocotillos have low water and maintenance requirements, allowing this plant to be placed in areas where there is no access for irrigation lines or other systems. This adaptability makes the Ocotillo exceptional by allowing a creative and practical addition to any desert landscape.  

Keep all of your trees healthy with regular applications of Moon Dust fertilizer and Supercharged Moon Juice for maximum performance.
