FLAME WILLOW
Salix alba 'Flame', commonly known as the Flame Willow, is a deciduous shrub or small tree primarily grown for its spectacular winter interest. During the growing season, it features narrow, lance-shaped green leaves that create a dense, upright form. However, its true appeal begins in late autumn when the foliage turns a golden yellow and eventually drops to reveal brilliant orange-red bark. The younger stems exhibit the most intense coloration, appearing almost incandescent against a winter landscape or a backdrop of snow. It is often used in the landscape to provide a vertical element and a reliable source of warmth and color during the dormant months.
In the landscape, Salix alba 'Flame' is an excellent choice for a focal point, a colorful privacy screen, or for stabilizing soil along a pond or stream bank. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is remarkably adaptable to various soil types, though it prefers consistent moisture and can even handle boggy or poorly drained areas where other plants might struggle.
