Pussy willow is a short-lived, fast growing, native tree, or large shrubby shrub with a rounded crown. In early spring the silky furry catkins open before the leaves appear to signal spring is on the way. Grows in average, medium to wet, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Prefers full sun. Thrives in moist soils but tolerates somewhat drier soils better than most other willows. Intolerant of dry soils. Prune as needed in late winter to early spring. Plants may be cut to the ground every 3-5 years to maintain a smaller shrub shape. This is a dioecious species (male and female catkins appearing on separate trees) that is most often seen as a large multi-stemmed shrub to 6-15’ tall but is less frequently found as a small tree to 30’ tall.
This rose prefers savannas or woodland edges where it gets at least a half-day of sun. Best flowering and disease resistance occur in full sun. Prefers medium to wet, well-drained soil. Pink flowers with yellow centers bloom in July. Fall color is red-orange with red rose hips. May be used as a climbing rose. Attracts butterflies and moths.
Small flowers mass together in 6-12″ wide flat-topped cymes in June. Purple-black fruit from August to September is relished by birds! Best grown in medium to wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers moist soils with humus. Deer resistant.
A very large shrub that is as broad as it is tall. Found on wet sites and riverbanks but has proved adaptable to the urban garden. Flowers are white, one to three inches in diameter, flat-topped corymbs. Birds devour the shining, blue fruit. Full to part sun. Fall color is reddish purple.
A beautiful smaller plant that is slower growing with glossy green leaves. Does not tollerate drought. White Flowers.
