Alaska Bog Willow

Salix fuscescens

Alaska Bog Willow (Salix fuscescens) is a landscape plant valued for its form and structure as much as its bloom. It reaches roughly 20 ft at maturity and blooms in summer. Match it to full sun to part shade and water it in for the first season while roots establish. One caveat worth knowing before you plant: parts of this species carry a toxicity flag (low), so keep it away from pets and kids who chew on landscape plants. Given a spot that matches its light and water needs, it is a dependable, low-drama addition to the yard.
