Pussy willow is the common name used to identify willows that bare soft fuzzy buds or catkins on leafless twigs in late winter or very early spring. It belongs to the Salicaceae family. These willows are favored for their beautiful shimmering catkins and their very early spring bloom, as well as their ornamental use. Pussy willows can be purchased from most greenhouses or garden centers in pots.
