Dappled Willow (Salix integra) is a fast-growing deciduous shrub known for its striking variegated foliage, which features pink, white, and green hues in spring and summer. It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil, though it can tolerate wetter conditions and is often used in rain gardens or near water features. Dappled Willow can reach 6 to 10 feet in height and width if pruned, but may grow larger if left untrimmed. Regular watering is important, especially during establishment and dry periods, as the plant is sensitive to drought and performs best with consistent moisture. Pruning in late winter or early spring helps maintain its shape and encourages vibrant new growth. This shrub is adaptable and easy to care for, making it a popular choice for ornamental landscaping.
