We love our pussy willows as an early fun texture to design with! These two varieties are quiet different from each other in growth habit and aesthetic, read the deets below.
Wild- We originally propagated these willows from the road side here in rural Maine. It has a more swooping branching growth habit. The scale covering of the catkin is black. It is the earliest blooming willow we grow so makes the best fit for early pollinator feed source.
Discolor- This has a more upright, consistent growth habit than the wild pussy willow making it easier to harvest pussy willow stems in mass. Scale covering of the catkin is brown. Plants are shorter than the wild pussy willow. Bark is auburn brown.
Prefers wet soils. May take up to 2 years to put on significant growth. Zone 3 and beyond. Sold in bundles of 5, 10” cuttings. Growing instructions come with your order.
