Silky, silver-grey catkins appear on bare stems in late winter, signaling the arrival of spring. This fast-growing shrub can be cut back hard to encourage long stems, which are perfect for indoor floral arrangements.

Plant pussy willow in early spring in a location with full sun to partial shade. Ensure the soil is moist and well-draining. Space plants 4-6 feet apart. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist. Prune in late winter to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Propagate by taking hardwood cuttings in late winter or early spring, placing them in water until roots develop, then transplanting to the desired location.
