Salix babylonica ‘Aurea’
€165.00
Description
Elegant, flowing, and full of movement, Salix babylonica ‘Aurea’ is a golden weeping willow that brings softness and drama to the landscape in equal measure. Its long, arching branches fall gracefully from the crown, creating that classic curtain-like shape that feels romantic, calming, and beautifully reflective beside water or in open garden spaces.
In spring and summer, its slender leaves emerge in fresh yellow-green tones, catching the light beautifully and giving the whole tree a luminous quality. As the branches sway in even the gentlest breeze, it brings a sense of life and movement that few trees can match.
Why we love it
- Graceful weeping habit with beautiful movement
- Golden young growth adds brightness and softness
- A striking feature tree for larger spaces
- Creates a romantic, reflective feel in the garden
- Lovely near water or in open lawn settings
Best spot in the garden
Salix babylonica ‘Aurea’ is happiest in full sun with moist, fertile soil. It is especially well suited to larger gardens with space to let its shape develop fully. If planted near water, it looks particularly at home, but it can also make a stunning statement in a generous lawn or open landscape setting.
It works especially well for:
- Large gardens
- Waterside planting
- Feature tree planting
- Naturalistic landscapes
- Open lawns with room to grow
What to expect
This is a medium to large deciduous tree with a broad crown and long pendulous branches that create its signature weeping form. Its foliage emerges in bright golden-yellow to yellow-green tones, softening as the season progresses, and the bare branches in winter still hold a sculptural beauty of their own.
