Pussy-Willows

Changing Seasons...Compositionally Challenged

 

A sure sign of spring are pussy willows decorating ravines, meadows and your own yard!

 

Easy-to-grow pussy willows are happy in average to wet soils. Salix discolor can thrive in full sun to part shade, although less light means the plants won’t produce as many fuzzy catkins. Because pussy willows like moisture, they’re a good choice for planting near a pond, lake or stream; in a rain garden; or to help control soil erosion. Because the catkins appear so early, they’re considered one of the first signs of spring.
