Winter Torch Willow (Salix alba 'Winter Torch') brings seasonal color and structure to winter landscapes, extending ornamental interest into the dormant months. Bred for strong stem color and a compact habit, this selection is ideal for growers looking to diversify winter sales with a low-input, fast-growing shrub. Stems transition from vibrant green in spring to orange-red in winter, providing retail-ready contrast and visual appeal. Suited for mass planting, rain gardens, or specimen use in colder zones, it's a strong performer in wet or average soils. Deer resistance and low maintenance needs round out its landscape value.
