A favorite. A dwarf willow for the miniature garden with a growth rate of about 3" per year - although it has been growing a lot slower for us here in Seattle, Wa.
These are grown as 'Pre-Bonsai' meaning the branches and trunks are thicker than usual.
Discovered in Scotland, Boyd's Willow grows really slowly to about 12 inches tall and it a hardy little gem for just about any miniature garden scene. Round, furry, blue-gray leaves are perched on little gnarled branches. Needs sharp, well draining soil (add and or extra perlite.)
**January '23 - Note that this plant is deciduous - meaning has dropped its leaves in the fall for the winter. The buds are just starting to burst for spring!
