at Digging Dog

Dappled Willow

Salix

Salix integra ‘Hakuro Nishiki’ full sun  partial shade

Making an eager upward thrust, the young pink and white leaves of graceful ‘Hakuro Nishiki’ are dappled with green; it’s a most dramatic counterpoint to the gray-green, cream-streaked mature foliage. As the year goes on, interest persists: the somber light of winter is relieved by polished, red-hued stems, and early spring brings out pendant catkins.

This deserves the spotlight a dark background planting affords. Like all Willows, it thrives in moist soils. Prune in early spring to promote its elegant display.

Size: 5' high x 3'–4' wide; hardy to zone 5.

Customer Comment:

“Surfing the web for a special plant, I chanced on Digging Dog Nursery. I thought that any nursery that could create an Egyptian Gothic out of Anubis must have some pretty cool things going for it. I was right, and my first order was a pleasure. Well packed, healthy plants and extremely appealing people on the other side of the screen.”
