It only grows to be about 1-15 cm (0.39-5.9 in) in height. The male and female catkins (flower clusters) are on separate plants. The Arctic willow grows in the tundra and on rocky moorland (upland areas). Its habitat is in the harsh Arctic environments. Even in these harsh conditions the Arctic willow is a long-lived plant that grows extremely slow. In Greenland there was an Arctic willow found to be 236 years old.
