Salix purpurea 'Gracilis'
Choose Dwarf Arctic Willow for a fast, compact deciduous shrub in sunny wet or average soil, especially for low hedges, banks, and rain gardens. The tradeoff: it is not evergreen and may need pruning to stay tight.

- You want quick coverage.
- Your soil stays damp at times.
- You like fine blue-green foliage.
Skip This If
- You need winter privacy.
- Deer browsing is heavy.
- You want showy flowers.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B | It gives a clean, soft mound and useful color, but it is more texture plant than focal point. |
| Growth Rate | A | It fills in quickly, which helps on slopes, hedges, and new beds. |
| Maintenance | B- | Plan on occasional pruning because fast willow growth can outpace a tight layout. |
| Deer Resistance | C- | Deer readily browse this, so protect it or choose a more deer-resistant plant where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B | It stays compact for a willow, but it still wants room to mound outward. |
| Screening Value | C+ | It can make a low seasonal screen, but it drops leaves and will not block winter views. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically use this as a practical coverage shrub, not a centerpiece. Because it may not be in regular production, ask us to confirm availability or match you with the closest substitute.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it handle wet soil?
Yes, it is a good fit for damp areas, rain gardens, and average garden soil once established.
Is it evergreen?
No, it drops leaves, so use it for seasonal cover rather than winter screening.
Does it need pruning?
Some pruning helps keep the mound dense and within bounds, especially in tighter beds.
