Salix purpurea 'Nana'
Common Name: Dwarf Arctic Willow
Dwarf purple willow (Salix purpurea 'Nana') forms a rounded shrub with slender blue-green leaves and purplish stems. Its fine texture works well beside bolder foliage, particularly in a sunny, moisture-retentive border.
Its structure combines arching stems and upright growth. Growth is fast. The leaves are shed for winter.
Choose a site in full sun or partial shade. Provide humus-rich, well-drained soil and maintain even moisture. It performs better in cool summers than in sustained heat and humidity.
