DESCRIPTION
Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki’ is a deciduous shrub native to East Asia, including Japan, China, and Korea. Renowned for its variegated foliage, it features delicate, narrow leaves that emerge in spring with shades of pink, white, and green. As the growing season progresses, the foliage transitions to a soft green with white highlights, creating a dynamic and evolving visual appeal. In autumn, the leaves develop a golden hue before falling, revealing red-tinted stems that add winter interest.
Though its blooms are inconspicuous yellowish catkins that appear in spring, the plant is grown primarily for its foliage rather than flowers. Its adaptability and fast growth make it a versatile choice for hedges, specimen plantings, or as an accent near water features. The graceful arching branches and colorful leaves provide an elegant texture, enhancing gardens of various styles, including Japanese and cottage landscapes.
