Hi Betsi,

You should definitely wait until there is no danger of frost before you plant your cuttings. It is best to put them right in the ground.

I live on Lake Erie in Ohio and have rooted some ... willow branches. I would like to know when to plant them outside, and if in pots or in the ground. I typically do not plant flowers until Memorial Day here. It is not safe for annuals until then. Thanks for your help.

Hi Laurel, The cuttings are easy to start indoors, but eventually you'll have to move them outdoors. Willows of all varieties have extensive root systems and they need a lot of water. They really do best outdoors. However, dried willow cuttings can be kept for years indoors as decorations. Your local florist could probably provide you with these.

I love...Willows but my husband is reluctant to plant them in the ground because of their invasive root system. Is it possible to grow the...Willows in a large pot? Thank you for any information you can give me. Sincerely, Laurel Roberts

Hello, ...How should I go about purchasing ... willows? I remember them from the springtime when I lived on the East coast. They have nostalgic meaning for me, ...is there a way I can purchase at least a large bunch of them? ~ Thank you! M L
