Dappled Willow

About this plant

The Dappled Willow, also known as Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki', is a captivating deciduous shrub prized for its exceptional variegated foliage. New growth emerges in an exciting display of pink, white, and green, creating a dappled effect that adds unique visual interest to any garden. As the seasons progress, the pink tones soften, and the leaves mature to a cheerful green and white, maintaining its bright presence throughout the growing season. In winter, its striking coral-red stems provide significant cold-weather appeal, ensuring year-round beauty. Perfect for use as a specimen plant, in mixed borders, or along water features, the Dappled Willow offers a refined yet playful touch to contemporary and traditional designs alike.

Care & maintenance

Dappled Willow is relatively low-maintenance. Prune in late winter or early spring to encourage new, colorful growth and to maintain its desired shape. It can be coppiced annually for the most intense stem color. Protect from strong winds.
