The Japanese Fantail Willow is a botanical curiosity that has captivated people for generations. 'Sekka' is a unique selection that produces oddly fasciated branchlets that curl and twist into fantastical shapes. These deep mahogany stems bear a profusion of pinkish grey catkins, and are coveted for floral arrangements. Handsome glossy green foliage turns yellow in late fall.
