The Iceberg Alley® Sageleaf Willow is a hardy plant that effortlessly adds color and texture to a landscape. Narrow leaves that slightly bend at the midrib and come to a point grow on tall stems and have a powdery, silver color. The Salix Candida provides texture and contrast, and while the stunner has some serious foliage, it also blooms. Cylindrical silver catkins with red stamens emerge in the spring, giving this plant even more visual interest.

This rounded shrub naturally maintains its shape and does not overtake or overwhelm a space, making it a wonderful plant to include in a mixed bed. Plant this beauty in beds, borders, or mass plantings. The catkins make lovely cut flowers. As a North American native, the Sageleaf Willow is deer-resistant but a draw for pollinators, and it requires very little care once acclimated. Iceberg Alley® Sageleaf Willow is a hardy deciduous plant that can easily live in USDA growing zones 2 through 6. 

Iceberg Alley® Sageleaf Willow Care

At least 6 hours of sunlight is ideal, so plant in full sun, but the Sageleaf Willow can handle partial sun. The Iceberg Alley® Sageleaf Willow can tolerate damp conditions, but it does not like standing water, so use moist but well-drained soil. Water when the top few inches of soil dry out.  

Apply a balanced fertilizer in the spring to encourage new foliage and flowers. Prune this plant to maintain the height and spread as needed. 

Iceberg Alley® Sageleaf Willow Spacing

The Iceberg Alley® Sageleaf Willow is a mounded, upright perennial that will grow 3 to 6 feet tall and wide. To create a full and dense planting, space plants as close as 2 to 4 feet apart.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
