The shrub typically grows to a height of 10-30 feet and produces soft, furry grey catkins (also known as pussy willow branches) in the early spring. These catkins are often used for decorative purposes in various forms, including wreaths, garlands, bouquets, and centerpieces. Pussy willow can also be cultivated for ornamental purposes and is widely used in landscaping and gardening to add a touch of natural beauty to outdoor spaces. Creating a pussy willow centerpiece is an easy and elegant way to elevate your dining table.

You just need enough wool to make it look fuzzy! Also, your branches can vary in length — we varied ours between 12–18 inches. And you can use however many eggs you want per branch. For reference, we used between 10 and 15 eggs per 18-inch stem.
