Young bright pink shoots plus the slender cream-dappled green leaves forge a dramatic counterpoint to white-streaked grayish green mature foliage.

Somewhat more tolerant of occasional dry conditions than most Salix, Dappled Japanese Willow prospers in moderately moist soil and appreciates a late winter or early spring pruning to ensure its artful deciduous display.
