Formerly known as Salix chaenomeloides, the giant pussy willow (Salix x 'Winter Glory') is very likely a natural hybrid of Salix gracilistyla and Salix caprea. It has earned the moniker, "giant" because it produces some of the largest willow catkins: on mature stems the huge grey flowers commonly reach 2 to 3 inches long. Highly ornamental and praised in the cut flower industry, the giant pussy willow also provide very attractive brown-red stems with incredible, large, bright red buds in the winter. This willow is a must have to make the best winter arrangements and spring bouquets. Mix giant pussy willow with pink pussy willow cut stems for an even more dramatic effect!
