Weeping Pussy Willow 1 Live Plant – 3 Gallon Pot – Salix caprea 'Pendula'

Weeping Pussy Willow (Salix caprea 'Pendula') is a deciduous ornamental willow valued for its gracefully cascading branches and distinctive early-spring catkins. Its pendulous growth habit creates a sculptural, umbrella-like appearance, making it an attractive focal point for small gardens, ornamental landscapes, and mixed shrub borders.

In late winter to early spring, soft, silvery catkins appear along the branches, often before the leaves emerge. As the season progresses, the catkins may develop yellow pollen-bearing structures on male plants. The flowers provide an early-season resource for visiting pollinators, while the green leaves and drooping branches contribute ornamental texture throughout the growing season.

Weeping Pussy Willow generally performs best in full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. It tolerates consistently moist growing conditions and is suitable for waterside gardens, specimen plantings, and decorative landscape beds. Many nursery-grown weeping pussy willows are grafted onto an upright trunk to create their characteristic tree form; the final appearance depends on the plant's nursery training.

You will receive one live Weeping Pussy Willow plant in a 3 gallon nursery pot.

Pot Size: 3 Gallons.

Shipping height is not specified.

The plant is supplied as a young, nursery-grown ornamental willow rather than a mature landscape specimen. Actual branching, trunk form, grafting configuration, foliage density, and overall appearance may vary according to nursery production and seasonal conditions.

Grafted or tree-form status has not been specified for this item. The exact trunk form and graft height are therefore not guaranteed.

Weeping Pussy Willow is deciduous and naturally loses its leaves during colder months. Plants may ship dormant, leafless, recently pruned, or without catkins depending on the season. Flowering at the time of shipping is not guaranteed.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
