Overview of the Dappled Willow
The Dappled Willow, scientifically known as Salix integra, is a deciduous shrub valued for its unique variegated foliage. The leaves emerge with a combination of pink and white tones, maturing into a soft green with white mottling, providing a dynamic appearance throughout the growing season.
Cultivation and Maintenance
To ensure optimal health and appearance, this shrub requires consistent soil moisture. It performs best in locations that receive full sun to partial shade, which facilitates the development of its variegated leaf patterns. Regular pruning is recommended to encourage new growth, which is where the most intense pink coloration occurs.

- Seasonal Interest: Offers a transition of colors from spring through autumn, followed by bare stems in winter that reveal the plant's structure.
