White Flowering Pussy Willow – Salix Caprea – 2 Gallon Pot

Sure to be a conversation piece in your landscape and as a floral display in your home, the White Pussy Willow is a large growing deciduous shrub or small tree that produces upward-facing, fuzzy 1-inch catkins up and down all the bare branches in late winter. The buds resemble a cats paw. The cut branches with buds are excellent for displaying in indoor cut flower arrangements. The white buds open to yellow, bottlebrush-like flowers that are one of the first pollen and nectar sources for pollinating insects. As the flowers fade dark green broad elliptic to oblong leaves up to 6 inches long will emerge and remain until the first heavy frost in fall.
