You could just kill it then it'd be like winter all year round.

If you knew the plant, you'd know that a great deal of its charm is the
abundant catkins on the bare stems.


I was looking at one today in the garden centre. It was a
mature specimen and looked lovely with all the yellow
catkins. Very expensive though. We left ours behind in
England when we moved to France. Wish I'd dug it up and
brought it with us now. Sigh :-(
