Salix retusa can reach a height of 10–30 centimetres (3.9–11.8 in). This plant usually develops creeping stems, rarely erect. The dull green leaves are obovate, lanceolate or elliptic, with entire margins, 2 × 1 cm, with very short petioles. Like all willows this species is dioecious. Catkins are broadly cylindrical, with yellow anthers. Flowers bloom from June to July.
It is present in the mountains of central and southern Europe including the Pyrenees and the mountains of Bulgaria.
This species can be found in rock crevices and screes at elevation of 2,000–2,700 metres (6,600–8,900 ft) above sea level.
