Notes

'Kilmarnock' goat willow (Salix caprea 'Kilmarnock') is a tree for cut flowers and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun. It grows at a rapid rate, blooms from early to late spring, and draws butterflies and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer. You can cut the stems for indoor arrangements.

Pairs well with Star magnolia, Snowdrop, and Flowering quince.
