how long do pussy willows last in home?
I want to buy several fresh twigs and I'd like to preserve them.

Only a few days in water.
Dry them - but its a backwards process.
Cut the pussy willows outdoors just before they are about to burst out of their brown caps. This means waiting till later in the winter to pick them than you would if you were forcing pussy willows (see below).
Immerse the cut ends immediately in cold water.
After about 4-5 days, remove your pussy willows from water, bundle the branches loosely in bunches of 5 and hang upside down in a cool, dry room such as a closet, for a couple of weeks.
Then gently remove the brown caps that cover the buds and arrange them in a vase without water.
