Salix purpurea, or purple willow, is a versatile deciduous shrub known for its slender, arching stems that often display a distinctive purplish hue. It features unique, nearly opposite blue-green leaves and produces silvery catkins in early spring. Reaching up to five meters, its dense, rounded habit makes it ideal for hedging, erosion control, and basketry. This hardy species thrives in full sun and moist, well-drained soils, though it adapts well to various conditions including wet sites.
