Pussy Willow 'Showtime' — Live Rooted Plant, High-Yield Catkins, 1 Gallon

'Showtime' pussy willow (Salix caprea × cinerea S365) is a University of Toronto-selected hybrid prized for its exceptional catkin production. Fully rooted and grown in a 1-gallon container at 24–30" tall, this specialty variety is ready to establish in your landscape. Thrives in USDA zones 3+ in full sun to partial shade, reaching 10–15 feet tall with a 3–5 foot spread, or maintained smaller with annual coppicing. Foliage is dark green with prominent veins; silvery catkins emerge in dramatic abundance in mid to late spring—earlier and more prolific than standard pussy willows.

An upright, narrow form makes 'Showtime' ideal as a garden focal point, screening plant, or cut-stem source for floral arrangements. Attractive to early-season pollinators including bees. Grown by a horticulturist and professionally packaged to arrive healthy and ready to establish.
