Sandbar Willow vs Purple Leaf Sand CherrySalix exigua Prunus x cistena ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW
Sandbar Willow is a deciduous species native to much of North America. This mid-sized, fast-growing shrub can be found in very wet areas, making it an ideal plan to use in a wet area with erosion risk.
Purple Leaf Sand Cherry provides bright reddish-purple leaves that turn bronze-green in the fall. In the spring, tiny flowers with a pinkish white hue bloom. The flowers are small, but the impact comes from the shrub blossoming all at once. SANDBAR WILLOW QUICK FACTSPURPLE LEAF SAND CHERRY QUICK FACTS
