    We look at this plant strictly for its narrow (long leaves). Our plant in the garden has 6" long and 1/2" wide leaves on an irregular open plant. The flowers are four inch spikes of yellow in early spring.

    With gracefully arching or drooping branches clothed in handsome willow like (to 5" long x 1/2" wide) finely-toothed foliage, this 6-9' shrub also has drooping spikes of yellow-green flowers in late winter through early spring S-PSh/M/Acid

    Hardiness is untested here and I'm guessing it is on the tender side but published reports indicate that it may be hardier than praecox. It is fantastic even as a winter bloomer in a cool conservatory. The combination of willow like leaves and pendant racemes of flowers is a definite winner

    Elegant evergreen shrub from China with long and narrow pointed, rain-tipped leaves on arching stems to 6-8' tall x 5-6' wide. In winter pendulous chains of white-to-greenish-white blooms tantalize for a long time from bud to bloom. Truly striking year round and wonderful arching out over banks. Morning with afternoon shade, or dappled shade with regular summer water for best performance. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
