The leaves on this ornamental willow mature to creamy white blotched with green by early summer. Reports are that new foliage is supposed to come in pink, but I've witnessed only light green. Yellow fall color, red stems in winter. Yellowish catkins in early spring. Our specimen is still small, although I'm already afraid I didn't allow it enough room to spread out where I planted it.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits
