Salix purpurea 'Nana
Salix purpurea 'Nana', known as dwarf purple willow 'Nana', is a deciduous shrub with a rounded, dense habit, valued for its fine texture and narrow bluish-green foliage. Its flexible, slightly purplish branches add an extra decorative touch, especially in winter when the foliage is absent. Compact and well-branched, it is perfect for low hedges, structured beds, or contemporary landscapes requiring a regular shape. Very hardy and adaptable, Salix purpurea 'Nana' tolerates various soils, including slightly moist ones, and prefers full sun exposure to maintain a dense habit. It withstands pruning very well, which allows for controlling its silhouette and encouraging tight branching, ideal for formal or natural plantings in Nordic climates.
