This prostrate willow is native to northern Newfoundland. It is a lovely addition to a rock garden as it never exceeds 6 inches. The leaves are glossy yet distinctly veined. It is not well known in cultivation and hot summers would probably kill them quickly, considering they extend nearly to the north pole! meanwhile, it does well in my rock garden located in St. John's, Newfoundland zone 5b.
