Dappled Willow, also known as Salix Integra ‘Hakuro Nishiki,’ is native to the gardens of Japan and expresses a semi-weeping form. This deciduous shrub’s vibrant, distinctive leaves unravel from the buds in spring with a mix of cream, green, and pink colors. As the new growth begins to mature, pink coloration will subside, leaving a creamy white and gray-green variegated leaf.
This tri-color Dappled Willow displays good winter interest with red stems. This deciduous shrub tends to be very versatile and fast-growing. It is easy to take care of and looks classy in your garden. Salix Integra grows best when planted in full to partial sun, which will ensure its dramatic foliage color.
