Giant Pussy Willow is a
shrub for big, sunny, moist spaces growing 10 to 12 feet
tall and as wide. But if you love the catkins of pussy
willows (actually, it is the stamens or male flower parts
that make the show), then this one is for you because they
are so showy. Emerging from ruby red smooth buds in early
spring, the catkins change colors from smoky gray to pinkish
to smoky white and grow to 5 or 6 inches long. Whether left
on the shrub or brought in as forced branches, this pussy
willow ALWAYS attracts attention. Cut the shrub to the
ground every 3 years or so to help maintain a more compact
shape.
