Salix Purpurea Gracilis

Gracilis dwarf arctic willow

An ornamental willow variety valued for its elegant form and foliage. This small shrub has a compact, upright habit. Its branches are a deep purple that is particularly noticeable in winter, while its thin, elongated, light green leaves turn yellow in autumn. It is hardy and tolerates cold winters well. It requires little maintenance, other than a light pruning in spring to remove dead wood and encourage vigorous growth. This willow is ideal for smaller gardens, hedges, or as a border plant, and adds colour and interest all year round with its neat structure and purple hues.
