Planting & Care

The 'Kilmarnock' willow brings joy and elegance with its gracefully drooping branches.
Features soft, fluffy yellow catkins in early spring, followed by vibrant green leaves.
A UK native, discovered on a Scottish riverbank, it thrives in damp soil, making it perfect for wetter parts of the garden or patios.
Hardy and low-maintenance, its compact size is ideal for small gardens and container growing.
Recognised by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators', it's a magnet for bees in the spring.
Its signature weeping habit develops beautifully as the tree matures.

Species: Willow
Features: Native to UK
Flowering Season: Early spring, Summer
Flowering Time: February - June
Flower Colour: Furry yellow catkins
Foliage Colour: Green
Position: Full sun
Habit: Weeping
Eventual Spread: 2.5m
Hardiness: Fully hardy, will survive snowy UK winters.
Soil Type: Happy in most soils; flourishes in moist, well-drained soil, especially near ponds.

Planting Time: All year round
Pruning: Little to no pruning required as it creates a natural framework, but responds well to hard pruning if needed.
Watering: Water new plants regularly for the first couple of months. Afterwards, keep the soil moist but well-drained. Ensure potted trees are watered well.
Feeding: Pre-fed for the first season. You may wish to add a little fertiliser around the base when planting.
