Salix (Willow) in Jeddah: Natural Branches for Striking Arrangements
Salix is the botanical name for willow, a genus of around 400 species of trees and shrubs native to the cooler regions of the Northern Hemisphere. In floristry, willow is valued for its flexible branches, from the soft, silvery catkins of pussy willow to the twisting stems of curly willow. These branches add height, line and natural texture to arrangements, and at Blumen in Jeddah we use salix to give vases and bouquets an artistic, sculptural edge.

Pussy willow is loved for its fuzzy, pearl-like buds that signal the arrival of spring. Curly willow features dramatic, corkscrew-shaped branches that create movement and height. Both are favorites in tall vase arrangement designs and seasonal décor.
Salix for Home and Event Décor
A few willow branches in a tall flower vase instantly create a designer look for entryways, living rooms and reception areas. Willow is also used in wedding décor, centerpieces and installations, adding a natural, airy touch. It is one of the easiest home flower decoration ideas for a refined, minimal space.
Care and Longevity
Willow branches last a long time and can even root in water. Keep them in clean water and change it weekly, or display pussy willow dry, where it keeps its soft buds for months.
