Pussy Willow branch © Lizzie Wilberforce. Pussy willow may be overlooked as an ornamental in favour of showier trees, but its value to hungry pollinators emerging in the early spring, and its status as a larval host for a broad range of butterflies and moths make it practically a “must-have” for the pollinator garden.
