    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Native to China, Japan and Korea with cool bluish gray foliage, green stems and HUGE 2" silver gray catkins are shaded coral and gold in early spring. The anthers are reddish but when they start to open filling with gold pollen, it's a sight to behold. The larger, more colorful catkins are found a 'yard size' plant generally reaching no more than 10' in height. This lovely plant will fit in most yards where the 'big willows' won't. Great in flower arrangements.
