Native to China, the foot-catkin willow, Salix magnifica, is a slow-growing, upright shrub bearing dark red shoots, large, leathery, blue-green leaves and very long catkins in spring. It makes a fantastic specimen for a small garden, where it can be pruned to produce extra large leaves, or allowed to develop into a small tree.
Grow Salix magnifica in a sheltered spot in full sun to partial shade, in moist but well-drained soil. Not fully hardy, protect from winds and cold winter wet – you may consider growing it in a pot, which you can move indoors in autumn.
