Salix Repens Var. Adscendens

Creeping willow, scientifically known as Salix repens var. adscendens, is a low-growing shrub that thrives in moist environments. Its slender stems cascade gracefully along the ground, often forming dense mats that stabilize soil and prevent erosion. This variety is particularly adapted to wetlands, stream banks, and other waterlogged areas where it plays a vital ecological role. With its soft, silvery-green leaves and delicate catkins, it adds a subtle yet distinctive beauty to its surroundings. Despite its delicate appearance, creeping willow is remarkably resilient, making it a valuable plant in both natural and cultivated landscapes.
