Overview

The Little-Leaf Cordia (Cordia parvifolia) is a resilient, drought-tolerant shrub native to the southwestern U.S. and Mexico. Typically reaching 8-10 feet tall with an 8-foot spread, its compact form showcases small, dark green leaves and white, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in spring and summer. Ideal for low-water landscapes, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, providing low-maintenance beauty and habitat for pollinators.
