Silver Leaf Willow vs Green Bulrush
Scirpus pallidus
Salix alba sericea
ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW
SOLD OUT
Green Bulrush is a common waterside plant, suitable for erosion control and land reclamation. Despite this, Green Bulrush is very drought resistant once established. Bulrushes can cool nearby areas on hot days.
Unlike many of the other waterside plants available, Green Bulrush does not attract wildlife. This makes it a good choice for surrounding residential water sources.
Green Bulrush is topped with spiky balls of florets, green in the spring and fading to brown in the fall.
Native to North America, Silver Leaf Willow has orangish bark and long, silvery grey leaves. Bees and other insects are attracted to its flowers.
Popular as an ornamental tree for parks, it is also used as a shelterbelt species. It may not be as cold hardy as some of the other willow varieties, however.
