Willow Bushes for Sale at Nature Hills Nursery

Nature Hills Nursery offers wonderful, smaller Willows perfectly suited for a wide range of landscaping needs. Large or small, the willow bush is part of genus Salix, which is where the pain-relieving compounds in today’s aspirin first originated.

But don’t worry, these shrubs aren’t a pain. People have loved the easy-care Willow bush for a very long time. They thrive in poor — and even wet — soils, and are a great shrub for beginning gardeners and experts alike.

Willow shrub form types offer a ton of benefits for today’s small yards. It has been reported that there are more than 300 species of willows and only about 40 are types of willow trees. Many landscapes can be enhanced by Willow shrubs due to the diversity of colors, sizes, and adaptability.

From white pussy willows to dappled willow shrubs, you’ll find a fine lineup of willow plants right here in our online nursery.

Pussy Willow Is the First Sign of Spring

The Pussy Willow shrub is one of the first plants to give a very welcome sense of relief to winter-weary homeowners. Cute, furry little catkins appear in very early spring before the leaves emerge. Kids of all ages are truly entranced by these.

Pussy Willows are a fast-growing shrub and can easily add several feet of growth in a single season. If you need privacy, you might consider this speedy shrub, especially if you have poorly draining soil. Pussy Willows tolerate wet soils better than most plants can. 

You’ll love being able to cut your own decorative pussy willow branches and use in seasonal floral arrangements. Just don’t be surprised if you start getting requests for them.

The French Pussy Willow (also called the Goat Willow) is another highly adaptable, fast and easy-to-grow larger shrub that can be grown in areas that are too wet for other plants. These pussy willows should be pruned to help you usher in spring each year. The younger shoots have the best fuzzy catkins that can be pink or gray in color. 

A Pussy Willow shrub could even become a source of income for enterprising crafters. Sell armloads to local stores or dry them to use in long-lasting wreaths and arrangements. Instant bonus.

Willow Bush Foliage Brightens Your Yard

The Dappled Willow is a rounded, multi-stemmed shrub that grows to 6 feet tall. You will adore the incredible pink, white, and green variegated foliage, which is brightest in spring. The unique, variegated foliage is a stand-out trait, but the beauty doesn’t stop there.

The new growth of this special shrub also offers pink and red stems. Prune your Dappled Willow back a bit in early spring. Early spring pruning will offer super colorful foliage and keep the plant smaller and more refined. 

Pro Tip: Give Dappled Willow another light prune in June or July to encourage another flush of new, colorful foliage. 

Great Texture, Super Easy Willow Shrub

Do you have a difficult spot in your yard where nothing else will grow? A Dwarf Arctic Blue Leaf Willow may work beautifully for you.

The Dwarf Arctic Blue Leaf Willow shrub grows fast, tolerates most any soils — including wet ones — and can grow in sun or part shade. The soft, silvery blue-green, fine-textured foliage is what makes this plant shine. 

This type of willow bush is perfect for a hedge, or a backdrop to shorter perennial plants. They move with the slightest breeze and bring motion and gentle sound to your garden. Fabulous.

Care for Your Willow Shrubs

All Willow shrubs tolerate pruning beautifully, and it's quite easy. Simply prune out about one-third of the oldest branches back to the ground in spring. Repeating this process for three years will create an nearly new shrub every year.

Place your willow plant order at any time of the year. We’ll reserve your order and ship when the time is right for planting in your area.
