The Tri Color Willow Tree is a rounded globe of branches on a single trunk, covered with color all year round. New shoots in spring, and after trimming, are bright pink, and older leaves are cheerfully dappled in bright white and apple-green. In winter the twigs are a sparkling red, and in early spring ‘pussy-willow’ catkins decorate the branches. This hardy shrub makes a vibrant accent plant with constantly changing colors, and simple trimming makes it easy to keep it neat and rounded.
Full sun will give the brightest colors on the Tri Color Willow, but it will also tolerate a little shade for part of the day. It grows in all soils except for dry, sandy ones, and it enjoys damp or wet soil too, making it ideal for low-lying areas, and beside ponds and streams. Pests and diseases are usually absent, and a spring pruning and the occasional summer trim will keep it compact and neat. A massive reward in color for a very small effort.
