This plant is so special I just must add it to my blog. It is different from the pussy willow we all know in several ways. The bushes are beautiful and remain green during the warmer months, when the leaves finally fall off the stems are a beautiful burgundy color. You can see that in the photo below.
The catkins come in a burgundy color, turning coal black and then they seem to bloom and get a bright green. Hopefully the pictures will show you want I am trying to explain.
They are easy to grow and propagate. The starter plants are also on sale when available at JBsPlants.
The plants grow into lovely bushes and become a very pretty addition to any lawn or garden area. The plant can grow to be 8' or more if not prunned. They are hardy in Zone 4a to 8b. They like full sun or partial shade They bloom in late Winter, early Spring. The foliage is deciduous.
