Salix helvetica is a charming dwarf willow that brings a touch of elegance to any garden or outdoor space. Native to the Swiss Alps, this deciduous shrub features soft, silver-grey leaves that shimmer in the spring sunlight. Its compact, rounded form makes it an excellent choice for small gardens, borders, or containers. In early spring, Salix helvetica produces delicate, silvery catkins that add a soft glow to the landscape. These early blooms are a welcome sight after winter and provide valuable nectar for early pollinators.
This hardy plant thrives in various soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils, and is tolerant of both sun and partial shade. Its adaptability and resilience make it a versatile addition to any garden design. Whether used as a solitary feature, in mass plantings, or in containers, its graceful appearance and early spring blooms make it a standout choice for gardeners seeking a unique and low-maintenance plant.
Available on stem and in bush.
