Description: Large shrub with a small footprint. Long and narrow dark green leaves, turning bright yellow in the fall. Early spring provides the coveted "Pussy Willows", soft, silvery catkins that people can't resist touching and pollinators rely on for early season food. New wood provides excellent colour in the winter landscape. Versatile, can be planted in wet areas but does well in drought conditions.

Important Information: The "Bloom Period" is an indicator of the time period within which the wildflowers will bloom and does not describe the time period that a single plant will bloom. The "Sizes" listed are intended to be a general guideline to consult during plant selection. Plant growth and bloom times will vary depending on geographical location & individual site conditions.
