Wow!... Just wow!! You really cant get a more striking plant for your late winter & spring garden
- & were so excited to be able to bring it to you!
This new introduction is absolutely exquisite with its gorgeous pink fluffy catkins which just beg to be stroked as you walk past the bush. The fuzzy bunny tails burst from the tight maroon buds as the temperature warms in early spring, bringing a splash of vibrant colour to your garden, with the promise of warmer weather to come.
When grown as a hedge or as coppices, the new young growth is luminous with fire when the catkins break
- its really a sight to behold Perfect for a winter garden, the pussy-willow catkins start to appear from late winter & last well into the spring, & the stems are truly impressive when cut & brought into the house for an early flower display. In fact, this variety was bred for the cut-flower market, by a cut-flower arranger, so you know that the stems will make a great visual impact.
As the season progresses, the tiny pink powder puffs gradually turn golden as the pollen emerges, bringing a subtle shift of colour to the whole bush, before the blue-green leaves emerge & form a magnificent backdrop to other plants & flowers in the garden.
Not just a pretty face, Mount Aso is also known for its abilty to tolerate pollution, salt sea air & damp areas
- a truly versatile & useful plant!
We supply an established plant in a 12cm pot, with an ultimate height & spread of approx. 4.5m x 3m, but can be restricted by pruning.
