Salix purpurea 'Pendula'
Purple Osier Willow
Weeping purple osier willow has slender, hanging branches and blue-tinged leaves that turn yellow in fall. Its cascading form can be trained as a small specimen, and it is also useful where roots help hold damp soil.
Provide full sun or partial shade and consistently moist, well-drained soil. This willow tolerates wet conditions.
