Description:
In spring, silver catkins with red stamens will adorn the stems and can be cut for early spring decoration. Iceberg Alley is a male plant, which produces pollen and nectar. The textural foliage feels hairy and soft and has a lovely silvery hue. The silver leaves emerge in spring and last through autumn when they turn yellow. A favourite of honeybees, bumblebees, and some butterflies.
As with all willows, it tolerates wet soil and does best with full sun. It is also insect and disease-resistant. A great shrub for wet, swampy areas.
