Shrubs noted at collection site in nature ranging in height from 2-7 feet and typically twice as wide as tall. Multi-stemmed shrubs expanding vegetatively via layering. Dormant stem colors noted at collection site ranging from mostly greenish to occassionally brownish red and/or copper tones. Dormant buds rather red and often bright red in color. Salix sericea is native to areas of the northeastern U.S. and north into Canada, reaching its western extent in Missouri. Classified as an obligate wetland plant that typically occur on wet seeps, sedge meadows, streambanks, fens, etc. that are usually slightly acidic. Known to have the potential to reach up to four meters in height, but always much wider than tall. Ornamental characteristics include dark green leaves that are hairless above with undersides that are densely minutely-hairy making them rather white in appearance. Flowering occurs before or during leaf expansion. This species is known to serve as a larval host plant for the Arcadian Hairstreak, Satyrium acadica.
