Iceberg Alley® Sageleaf Willow

Iceberg Alley® is a North American native cultivar discovered by the Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador Botanical Garden. This small shrub's powdery, silver foliage adds texture and contrast when combined with other plants. It forms a rounded habit and does not overtake the landscape, reaching a height and spread of about 5' (a but shorter in very cold areas and a bit taller in warmer zones). It blooms in spring with silver catkins with red stamens and nectar for pollinators. Iceberg Alley® is tolerant of moist soils and a good choice for rain gardens. It grows best in full sun and tolerates pruning beautifully. Consider cutting the stems in early spring for the decorative catkins.
