Pussy willow stems carry soft, silvery catkins along smooth bare branches. Florists use them to bring tactile texture and a quiet, natural charm to arrangements.
No need to keep in water as stems do not wilt and can be used dry; if placed in water, change it regularly as stems may root. Keep away from excess heat to prevent catkins drying and shedding too quickly. Recut woody stems at an angle if placed in water to aid any uptake.
