Silken pearl gray catkins emerge before the leaves as one of the first signs of spring. Ornamental stems are lovely accents to cut flower bouquets. Broad, shiny green leaves with downy undersides enhance this multi-stemmed shrub. Consistently moist, well-drained soil is necessary for optimal performance. May be pruned to maintain desired shape.
