Salix Hakuro Nishiki Willow

Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki' – Dappled Japanese Willow Transform your landscape with the "Pastel Watercolors" of the Dappled Willow. This award-winning deciduous shrub is a true chameleon: spring brings a "cotton candy" effect as new leaves emerge bright pink, while summer offers a cooling splash of variegated white and green.

In winter, the leaves drop to reveal brilliant red twigs, ensuring your garden never looks dull, even in the snow.
