Salix 'Iceberg Alley' bees-bulbs-autumn beneath roses

beneath roses

Whether planted in a woodland setting

small red-purple flowers appear with admirable modesty

when it unfurls with those free-spirited

almost spherical white blooms that remain upright rather than collapsing at the first sign of weather with opinions

Salix 'Iceberg Alley' bees-bulbs-autumn beneath rosesSalix 'Iceberg Alley' is a compact deciduous willow with a cool, silvery presence, perfect for adding texture and light to modern borders. Its frosted, silvery green leaves have white undersides, creating a powdery effect that makes neighbouring greens look richer and brighter. In early spring, before the foliage fully unfurls, Salix 'Iceberg Alley' produces fuzzy silver catkins, each fringed with vibrant red stamens like tiny sparks against frost.
