I have a Salix and have forgotten its name
It is a prostrate form that is hugging some boulders we have in the
garden.
The label is now practically illegible but the letters seem to run along
the lines naka..somethingOrOtherButCantMakeOutHowManyLetters ..ana.
Can anyone help me remember what it is called, please?

The abundant small red catkins seems to be diagnostic. It only grows to
about 3" and can form an attractive mat.

That's the one.
Thanks, Alan.

You're welcome Jane :-)

The species seems to be a fairly recent one as it does not appear in RHS
Encs. Your clue re. 'hugging boulders' led to the 'alpina' bit.

Ooooh, it's a bit bigger than alpina!!
After about 3 years it has spread about 12 feet and 'dropped' over the
rocks about 4 feet and it's still going strong!!
I wonder if it was mislabelled?
