Salix: elegant and silky

Salix, in its many forms, offers a vivacious energy boost. The small groups of catkins on bare branches tell us that spring is coming and they symbolise new beginnings with fresh opportunities.

Salix is always a popular choice. Our hearts melt when the adorable, silver-grey catkins bud with an almost fairy-tale, nostalgic shimmer. What's more, Salix is robust, easy-going, and thrives in virtually all spots and soil types without being intrusive and flirtatious. The little tree has a trunk that roots nicely, which makes it resistant to wind and snow. Catkins are an important source of pollen for insects in early spring, when few other plants are flowering.
