Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This dwarf trailing willow from China mixes nicely with trailing conifers in the garden! It also excels at cascading over walls, boulders and makes an exquisite bonsai. Small catkins on naked spring stems are followed by attractive silver green willowy foliage. 10” tall and 3’ wide in 10 years. An excellent container specimen! Sun to part shade, moist soils...rare and choice. USDA Z5 3” pot
An alluring specimen for bonsai, rock garden and container enthusiasts, this petite ground-hugger greets spring with adorable fluffy cream-colored catkins on slender naked branches. The slim prostrate twigs and branchlets divide into thinner curved reddish stems, weaving a unique pendent drape of tiny gray-green deciduous leaves sporting silvered undersides. Full sun ensures optimum growth.
A very effective weeper; plant this male clone on the edge of a wall or boulder where its long slender branches will trail handsomely. Sun/Med
A vigorous creeping Willow that will cover a tabletop sized area or spill over a wall to great effect. Candle-like catkins in spring are a treat. As this plant ages the branches become more pendulous. I have noticed the same thing happening to me though it is not as pretty.
