Sooner Plant Farm Pussy Willow

Because this shrub grows to a mature size of 12 to 15 feet in both height and width, you should plant it in an area that allows for a 15-foot spread. Its fast growth rate means it will fill that space relatively quickly, so avoid planting it too close to structures or walkways.

Yes, the Giant Pussy Willow is highly adaptable and performs well in wet soil conditions. It is an excellent choice for areas where other shrubs might struggle with root rot, as it is naturally resistant to that condition.

No, this variety is considered deer resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof if food sources are scarce, this shrub is generally not a preferred snack for local wildlife.

You should harvest the catkins in early spring just as they begin to emerge and swell. Cutting them at this stage ensures they look their best and last longer when displayed in a vase indoors.

It is quite low-maintenance, especially given its high resistance to common issues like leaf scorch and powdery mildew. As long as it is planted in full sun, it will thrive with minimal intervention.

Each order comes with a slow-release fertilizer to support steady growth and Hydro-Gels to help the root system retain moisture during the establishment phase. It is also backed by the Sooner Guarantee to ensure you receive a healthy, viable plant.
