Salix caprea 'Kilmarnock' - Weeping Pussy Willow - also known as 'Pendula'
- showy deciduous groundcover or weeping tree - large fuzzy catkins are produced along the strongly pendulous stems before leaves emerge - soft silver catkins turn yellow with pollen; this is a male tree - among the first plants to flower in spring! Excellent pollinator food source - broadly elliptical gray-green leaves - good for sunny areas with regularly moist well-drained soils - prefers moist soils, but tolerates dryness a little better than most willows - suitable for great winter bouquets, or as an ornamental focal point - cut budded stems can be dried for flower arrangements - naturally grows as a 6" groundcover, and must be staked up to 10' for height - can be coppiced yearly (after flowering!), and will grow as a prostrate plant - grows in zones 4-8
- ships bareroot, wrapped in a soil-less medium to keep the roots damp - ships in cool spring, fall, or winter seasons; not during summer
