Willow

Willow (Salix) brings graceful form, movement and seasonal colour to the garden. This collection includes weeping, contorted and coloured-stemmed types, with choices ranging from distinctive feature trees to forms suited to more compact spaces. Most willows grow best in full sun and soil that stays moist, making them a natural choice for planting near ponds or other damp areas. Consider the eventual size and vigorous root system when choosing a position. For complementary planting, explore trees, shrubs, water plants and wildlife & birds.
