Plant details
Creeping willow, Salix repens, has slender branches, grey-green to mid-green leaves and an open spreading habit. From mid to late spring, rich golden catkins are produced on bare branches. It is possible to use creeping willow as an alternative to woolly willow, in alpine beds or rock gardens, as it is a more prostrate species. It only grows to around 60cm (2ft) tall but, for small rock gardens, it can be pruned in late winter or early spring. Plants are native to Europe.
