    A low growing willow with trailing stems which root where they touch down and which makes an excellent tall groundcover. The dark, shiny green leaves are paler on the underside. From Europe and the Alps, it's an excellent choice for stream-bank or hillside stabilization. Growth rate 18" per year. Yellow male catkins.
