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.
| 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. |
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.

Yes, it is a good fit for damp areas, rain gardens, and average garden soil once established.
No, it drops leaves, so use it for seasonal cover rather than winter screening.
Some pruning helps keep the mound dense and within bounds, especially in tighter beds.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very dedicated and professional. We are happy with the way they planted 14 trees for us. 11 green giants, 2 white pines and 1 Norway spruce.
Picked up my plants-ostrich ferns and blue ice amsonia without any problems! Wonderful, responsive owners! Will be buying from them in the future!
