Add a touch of unique elegance and early spring interest to your garden with the Black Pussywillow. This distinctive deciduous shrub, known botanically as Salix gracilistyla 'Melanostachys', is renowned for its striking black to deep-purple catkins that appear in late winter to early spring. Perfect for borders, woodland gardens, or as a standout specimen, Black Pussywillow offers both ornamental charm and seasonal beauty.
In late winter, Black Pussywillow awakens with its signature dark catkins that emerge on bare branches, creating a dramatic and captivating display. These catkins, which are initially black, gradually turn silvery as they mature, providing a beautiful contrast against the bare stems. As spring progresses, the shrub produces narrow, lance-shaped leaves that are dark green on top and silvery beneath, adding to its visual appeal.
