Dwarf form of Arctic willow. Upright, rounded form with purple stems and finely textured, blue-green foliage that turns yellow in fall. Tolerates moist conditions. Makes a nice low-clipped hedge. Drought tolerant once established in a moist, well-drained soil.
General Maintenance: Little pruning is necessary but can cut back heavily in spring to promote strong new growth and rejuvenate every few years. Prune broken or damaged limbs. Light: Full sun Watering: Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Soil: Can tolerate most soils. Fertilizer: Feed in early spring with an all purpose fertilizer prior to the new growth.
