Sow the seeds no deeper than ¼ inch deep in flats or nursery pots. Keep the soil relatively moist and, within 1-3 weeks, desert willow seed germination will take place. When seedlings produce two sets of leaves, or are at least 4 inches (10 cm.) in height, they can be transplanted to individual one-gallon pots filled with a well-draining soil mix and time release fertilizer. Be sure to grow the container plants in strong sunlight. You can plant your desert willow in the ground as soon as spring or, more ideally according to some, grow the plants in containers for at least a full year before planting in the ground. When planting your young desert willow, be sure to let it transition to outdoor life by hardening it off, then situate it in a location that receives full sun with well-draining soil.
