What is a Pussy Willow plant?

[yourhomify]

The Salix discolor commonly named Pussy Willow forms deciduous growth patterns that bring attractive pale gray catkins to early spring natural events. Soft gray catlike flower sprigs on the plant serve as the basis for its common name. The North American native plant requires moist soil environments in wetlands as its typical habitat. People commonly use Pussy Willows as floral decorations because these plants represent fresh starts and new development.
