| Description | Prairie willow (Salix humilis), also known as upland willow, is a mounded shrub that can grow to about 10 ft. tall. It is drought tolerant, especially once established. Prairie willow produces fuzzy, silky catkins in the early spring which support pollinators including native bees and butterflies, and its structure provides cover and food for small animals. | |
