White, Pink and Black Pussy Willow Collection (Salix)
No plant heralds in the spring season better than the Pussy Willow
with its young catkins that emerge on the first warm days. These plants are
some of the earliest pollen and nectar sources for our pollinating insects and
help them regain their strength after the long winter months. Native to temperate
Asia, Pussy Willows are easily managed shrubs for border areas in the garden
landscape. Once flowering is complete, plants can be pruned to the desired size and shape without disrupting the next season’s bloom.
