Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Wonderfully large, three inch, catkins on this male hybrid (formerly S.chaenomeloides) open a glorious rosy-pink color before aging to pretty silver. The blooms break open from glossy red buds making delightful garden decorations and also making late-winter feel like spring is coming after all. When mature the catkins are covered in pollen, and serve as an early food source for bees. This is a vigorous shrub to 12' which allows for plenty of early cutting. S/M-W
