smaller, more compact habit. Deep burgundy

shrub with pink stems and dappled green, pink,
and white foliage, with some leaves being all
white. Color will fade to green over the season.
Holds up best in light shade, in soils that are
kept moist. Pruning hard in the spring will help
control size and to promote more intensely
colored growth. Height 3-6’, spread 3-6’.
Dwarf Blue Arctic Willow
(Salix purpurea ‘Nana’)—Very fine-textured, airy
shrub with wispy blue-green foliage. This is a
great plant for color and textural contrast in

you can’t grow this one, it’s time to turn in
the shovel! Height 2-3’, spread 3-4’.
