Sandbar Willow

Salix exigua

This graceful, fine-textured native willow with intensely silvery-gray foliage, a beautiful and functional plant for stabilizing streambanks, pond margins, and wet, difficult sites.

  • Intensely silvery-gray, narrow leaves create an airy, shimmering foliage effect
  • Fast-establishing root system, one of the best native plants for streambank stabilization
  • Spreads by suckers to form naturalistic colonies along wet edges
  • Highly attractive to native pollinators through its catkins in early spring
