Salix discolor
Pussy Willow has attractive early spring blooming “furry” flowers resembling a tiny cat’s paw.
Tiny densely clustered pink flowers attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators. Host plant for numerous butterfly and moth caterpillars.
Yellow daisy-like flowers bloom May through August, providing nectar for pollinators.
Individual spikes house whorls of small yellow 5-petaled flowers that tower over the foliage.
