Dwarf Weeping Willow 'Pendula'
FamilySalicaceae
Salix purpurea 'Pendula' is an ornamental weeping willow, forming a very striking silhouette, ideal as a solitary specimen or along a water's edge. Its slender, supple, purplish-violet branches gracefully cascade from a central upright structure, creating a natural parasol shape. Its deciduous, narrow, bluish foliage accentuates its light and decorative effect. This cultivar remains modest in size and is well suited for cultivation in small gardens or containers, with gentle annual pruning to maintain its shape. Very hardy and tolerant of cool soils, 'Pendula' is used as a focal point in the garden, near a pond or on an open lawn, and offers discreet spring flowering in the form of silky catkins early in the season.
