=================================
Salix purpurea ‘Dark Dicks’
‘Dark Dicks’ is a very attractive selection with blue-green leaves and dark purplish-red stems on new growth. This variety is an excellent choice not only for its visual appeal but also for its versatility in uses like creating a beautiful hedge, or as an anchor grouping in your garden. Its attractive foliage and dark purplish-red stems add depth and interest to any landscape design. It can also be used as a living fence, known as a "fedge", providing privacy, beauty, and wildlife habitat to your landscape. In addition to its landscaping uses, 'Dark Dicks' is highly valued for basketry and other artistic creations, dried or living. Once established and with annual coppicing, it produces beautiful rods ranging from 6-9’ in height. Its adaptability and durability make it a reliable choice in any setting.
Dried rod color: Green-brown
================
Uses:
Valued by weavers and artisans for its slender and flexible nature, and rich color
A favorite for fine to medium basketry
Unique and sweet color transitions throughout the year
Prized in ornamental landscape: in mass or in groupings
When coppiced it provides lots of rods
Great in summer floral arrangements
On our farm, we are enchanted by the graceful beauty of ‘Dark Dicks'. Its lovely leaf shape and color, and the unique shades in its straight stems never fail to astonish us. During walks amidst rows of 'Light Dicks' and 'Dark Dicks’, the joy and surprise of hearing the resident families of quail scurrying about adds an extra layer of gratitude for this species. On windier days, I find myself marveling at the thin, tall stems swaying in rhythm with each other. And on still days, the majestic reach of this willow is truly a sight to behold, especially when illuminated by the golden sunlight and the expanse of the blue sky above.
