Salix chaenomeloides 'Mt. Asama', Red Pussy Willow *New or recently updated or bent during transitOf Japanese origin, this pussy willow was named for the volcano, Mt. Asama. It's so rewarding for how easy it is to grow. Buds emerge deep burgundy with a silver penumbra, and then the flowers become soft pinkish red and 23 inches in length! Appreciated by florists for the catkin and the red stem; make your own breathtaking arrangement with tall stems to fill a crystal, silver, or black vase! It's a large shrub, but one that's very amenable to pruning
