Plantinformation
Standard Salix Helvetica is an outdoor willow grown as a standard tree, with a clear trunk and a compact crown. The bicolour foliage gives a lively, two-tone effect, and it flowers in spring.
Location

Growth habit and size
Delivered at 80–100 cm (including the pot), it stays pleasantly compact as it matures, reaching around 100–125 cm. The standard form keeps the crown neat and lifted above the ground for a tidy, decorative finish.
Plant care
An easy-to-grow choice that suits a straightforward routine. As a potted plant, it can be planted out at any time of year when your garden conditions allow.
Winter hardiness
Hardy down to –15°C, making it a reliable option for typical Irish winters in an outdoor setting.
