Planting & Care

Despite its sorrowful associations, the 'Kilmarnock' willow brings a cheerful presence to any space.
Features soft, fluffy yellow catkins in early spring, followed by vibrant green leaves on elegant, drooping branches.
A true Scottish native, discovered on a riverbank in the 19th century, it loves damp soil and is ideal for wetter spots in the garden or by a pond.
Hardy, low-maintenance, and perfectly compact, it reaches just 2m, making it ideal for patios and smaller gardens.
An RHS 'Plant for Pollinators', providing a valuable early food source for bees.

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

Planting: Can be planted year-round. Will flourish in moderately fertile, moist, and well-drained soil. If kept in a pot, ensure it is watered well.
Watering: When newly planted, water at least once a month for the first couple of months. Afterwards, keep the soil moist but well-drained.
Feeding: The soil in the pot provides all necessary nutrients for the first season. You may wish to sprinkle a little fertiliser around the base when planting.
Pruning: Little or no pruning is required as it creates a well-branched framework naturally, but it responds well to hard pruning if necessary. Note: Young trees may not have a prominent weeping shape initially, but this will develop over time.
Pests & Diseases: May need protection from aphids, leaf beetles, sawflies, and caterpillars. It could also be affected by willow anthracnose, rust, and canker.
