Salix Discolor, commonly known as "pussy willow", is an attractive shrubby plant known for its fluffy catkins that appear in early spring. Here is a description and some tips for caring for these magnificent branches: Salix Discolor is a deciduous shrub native to North America. It is often grown for its floral catkins, which are clusters of small flowers covered in soft, silvery fuzz, that resemble fluffy cats, hence the name "pussy willow." Salix Discolor branches are very popular in floral arrangements and are often used in spring and Easter arrangements to add a touch of softness and texture. Their average length of 35 inches makes them a versatile choice for table arrangements, bouquets and seasonal decor. To get the most out of your Salix Discolor branches, store them in a vase of clean water and change the water regularly to extend their lifespan. Keep them away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to avoid premature wilting. If you want to keep Salix Discolor branches longer, you can air dry them by hanging them upside down in a dry, well-ventilated area. Once dried, they can be used in permanent arrangements or craft projects. By caring for your Salix Discolor branches, you can enjoy their natural beauty and unique texture throughout the spring season, adding a touch of rustic charm to your indoor or outdoor decor.
