Sandbar Willow

Salix interior

  • Will grow 3-4m tall, and half an acre wide.
  • Forms tall dense clumps.  Branches have an individual upright growth habit.
  • Dark green leaves are long and slender, which gives the plant a very fine texture that looks good in the wind.
  • Small, fairly insignificant pussy willow (male catkin) that appears in late spring.
  • Winter wood is a subtle pinkish to orangey

Landscape Use:

  • Use where a fine textured, tall, graceful plant is required to fill larger areas.
  • Full sun.
  • Extremely drought tolerant for Calgary and area gardens.
  • Native pollinators (bees) feed on the early flowers.
  • Planted along stream bank edges for reclamation, erosion control and naturalization. Flood resistant.
  • A useful planting around ponds and dry riverbed landscape elements.

Special Conditions:

  • Suckers freely. We have a patch in the nursery which we’ve tried to keep under control for the past ten years. Use with extreme caution. Once you plant this, you will have it forever.
