Salix purpurea Pendula Tree (12L, 5ft Stem)

Looking to add an incredible splash of colour to your garden? This gorgeous Purple Weeping Willow will certainly be the highlight of the conversation when sitting in the garden with your guests on a sunny Autumn afternoon.

The top worked Salix Purpurea ‘Pendula’ Tree, more commonly known as the ‘Purple Weeping Willow Tree,’ boasts a full, bushy appearance exploding from its trunk creating a lollipop shape. This transforms into its graceful ‘weep like’ character as it ages. When young, you can expect winding slender branches to have a purple and grey tinge with white catkins before new foliage appears. The new leaves put on a display of brilliant maroon that later develops into an extravagant shade of green and blue.

This tree is happiest in full sun, next to an area that contains water as it thrives in well drained but damp soil and is suited to most soil types. Perfect for a slightly larger garden with a body of water such as a small stream or pond. Standing at a height of 3.5m x 2.5m at full growth and has also been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit. The Purple Weeping Willow is stunning all year round, creating a magical presence and the perfect spot beneath its curtain of foliage to let your imagination wander.
