Salix discolor
Choose Pussy Willow for a native, early-spring shrub in damp or naturalized areas. The main payoff is fuzzy catkins before most plants wake up; the tradeoff is a spreading habit that needs room and occasional control.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The late-winter catkins are the reason to plant it, especially where early spring interest matters. |
| Growth Rate | A | It fills in quickly, which is useful in open areas but a problem in tight beds. |
| Maintenance | C+ | Plan on periodic pruning and sucker control if you want it kept in bounds. |
| Deer Resistance | C- | Deer readily browse this, so protect it or choose a more deer-resistant plant where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | D | Its spreading habit makes it a poor fit near walks, entries, and small foundations. |
| Screening Value | B | It can make a loose seasonal screen, but it drops leaves and is not a formal privacy plant. |
At PGNE, we'd typically steer Pussy Willow toward wetter edges, wildlife-style borders, and open areas where its natural shape is an asset rather than a maintenance fight.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
