Willow - Dappled
Good in containers, also. Prune in early spring to promote its elegant display and prune to promote variegated foliage. The Dappled Willow is a superb accent plant and it will be a focal point in beds and borders. This plant displays good winter interest with coral and red stems that contrasts with the landscape. Like all Willows, it thrives in moist soils. The young branches grow out of the crown in all directions and will begin drooping slightly. The Dappled Willow, 'Salix Integra Hakuro-Nishiki', also known as Variegated Willow, is a small shrub that produces leaves that are variegated when they are young. The Variegated Willow is also used for foundation plantings, alongside water features and natural areas. ... more info
Red Flowering Quince The Red Flowering Quince, Chaenomeles speciosa, is valued for its spring flowers. Cut branches with swollen flower buds may be forced indoors, making a welcomed winter flower arrangement. To prune, remove only crossing, diseased or broken branches. The oblong, serrated foliage opens bronze red and fades to a glossy dark green. The single or double rose like flowers emerge in clusters of 2–4, often before leaves develop. It is very nice for a shrub border or espaliered to wall. Flowering quince should never be sheared. |
