Comments (14)I have the "Fire ball" one...although its actual name is Euonymus alatus "select". I've had it for 3 years now. It is still only a foot tall. :( I am going to give it a few more years though, because last winter it got mowed over by deer, so I figure it gets a 2nd chance. It doesn't look like it has much - if any - die back this year though. It is in quite a sheltered south-facing location. As for fall color...I had so-so color the fall before last...last year I didn't have any fall color at all. It really depends on the fall I think. If it stays warm and then suddenly we get a bunch of frosts, the leaves just die green. If we have a long fall of cool nights, you'll get good color. So it won't be consistent. Overall, I'm a little disappointed with it...if nothing else, it really is a single purpose plant for me. It looks very plain throughout the summer, so it's only season to shine is fall in my situation. I don't really look at the garden whatsoever through the winter to enjoy its bark. BTW - I second Hykue about your questions, nutsaboutflowers!(I hope you don't mind if I start calling you "nuts"...I like typing shorter names!) Somebodies got to keep things hopping around here....See MoreSalix Purpurea (Blue Arctic Willow)
Comments (3)I purchased two willows in 3 gal pots. So the plants are fairly small (18 in x 18 in) and kept them well watered because of our nasty drought. They went into fall ok, and I did have a few larger caterpillars on them, but it was easy to hand pick them off. So they went into winter well, and I'm hoping that they make a great show in the spring....See MoreBlptm Midnight Blue 'Willow Pond'

Comments (20)I would do nothing further to it, as it looks great! I have a blue willow for a bird bath, just waiting to find a cobalt blue substrate for it. Willow looks good with white grout. White is primarily for that shabby, cottage, indoor look. There is nothing better than white for that look, any other color would have drowned it badly. I use only white for all of my shabby items, but for outdoor, never....LOL...See Moresylviatexas1
