This fine textured shrub makes a great short backdrop for Roses or set behind low-growing Hydrangeas. Try a small hedge along walkways by the garage. It may just be the right size plant to cover up the bottom of your deck. Because it fills all the way to the ground, it gives an airy sense of privacy. You'll love the screening without feeling like there is a visual barricade. Let it grow as tall as you want, or keep it short with a simple pruning in early spring. Enjoy that fresh, cute, bright green, fine-textured new growth! Ensure it receives moderate to high amounts of rainfall or supplemental watering. Dwarf Blue Leaf Arctic Willow will not perform well in dry, arid conditions. Give your plants a layer of mulch to cover their root systems. |
