Description
A graceful and refined but rugged and fast growing little shrub, the Dwarf Arctic Blue Willow features very slender blue-green leaves on purplish stems that add wonderful color and texture in the landscape. The plant grows rapidly to about 2 to 3 feet tall in a rounded mound and then begins to send our graceful long shoots that sway in the breeze. That said, it responds very well to trimming and many keep it shaped in a more dense, rounded form or to shape for a very attractive hedge. It is also suitable for Bonsai and topiary and the shoots are used in basket making. Pretty white catkins (flowers) appear in spring that the butterflies will thank you for.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a rounded mound 3 to 5 feet tall and equally as wide depending on pruning, the Dwarf Arctic Blue Willow is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces or in groupings or as a natural or formal clipped hedge in larger landscape borders. It may be grown in moist soils along streams, ponds or in low spots in the landscape where other shrubs often falter. Aslo good for erosion control on slopes and embankments and responds very well to pruning for Bonsai or topiary. It’s flexible shoots are often used in basket making. The beautiful foliage is best set off against a dark background or around shrubs with deep foliage color. For a striking display, plant beside or in front of deep purple foliage plants such as a Loropetalum or near a red leaf Japanese Maple.
Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart for solid hedge; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
The Dwarf Blue Artic Willow is easy to grow in wide range of moist but well-drained soil of average to poor fertility. That said, they will tolerate dry periods much better than other willow species. It likes full to most sun in zones 5a-7a, but will appreciate some shade or filtered sun during the hottest afternoon hours in zone 8. No pruning is necessary however the plant responds very well to it for shaping purposes or for Bonsai and topiary.
Plant Long & Prosper!

I have wanted these plants for a couple of years but I couldn’t find them locally. I was so happy to find this website! They arrived very quickly and I planted them right away. In two weeks they have already grown a bit. A deer made a snack out of one of them but thankfully it has started growing back.
