Salicaceae
Salix × 'Prairie Cascade' is a weeping hybrid willow with a broad, gracefully pendulous habit, developed to offer better hardiness than traditional forms. Its fine, lanceolate, glossy green foliage turns a luminous golden yellow in autumn, while its slightly reddish young branches add winter interest. Suited to moist soils, riverbanks, large gardens, or parks, it grows rapidly to form a majestic and shady silhouette. Very hardy, resistant to winds and harsh climatic conditions, 'Prairie Cascade' prefers a sunny exposure and fresh to moist, well-drained soil. It combines rapid growth, classic weeping habit, and adaptation to cold climates, perfect for elegantly structuring a large space.
