Flame Willow
(Salix ‘Flame’)
There’s no lack of color during the winter months with Flame willow. Andrew Bell, Ph.D., curator of woody plants, likes this large shrub, which can reach 12 feet tall and wide, for its bright orange-red stems: “As the name implies, this shrub willow glows like a flame in the winter landscape!”
