Golden Weeping Willow Hedging
Salix 'Chrysocoma'
- Golden Weeping Willow makes a spectacular informal native hedge, with slender, sweeping golden stems and showy foliage
- Sunny yellow catkins burst into life in spring against a backdrop of bright green foliage which turns to warm yellow tones in the autumn
- A hardy and vigorous hedge which looks good even in winter, the Golden Weeping Willow is easy to grow and requires minimal pruning
- Ideal for screening near a seating area or patio to provide summer shade and colour
- Holds the RHS Award of Golden Merit for reliability, resistance to pests, disease and frost and ability to thrive in all areas of the UK
- Great for coastal areas, where it provides a windbreak, and by ponds and streams where it will thrive in the wet soil and help to prevent erosion
- Attracts pollinators to your garden

Meet Cameron
Putting shrubs in the starlight (and boy do they shine…)
Cameron is mad about plants, which is lucky, really, because he’s absolutely surrounded by them here at the nursery. Having studied at the Student Plant Unit at Pershore College, Cameron went on to compete at the Grand Finals for the 2022 Horticulturist of the Year Awards. With a team of dedicated growers on hand to help, Cameron utilises our industry-leading nursery (and the lovely, fertile conditions of the Cotswolds) to grow shrubs that aren’t just good-looking, they’re good-growing too.
