Description

Finding great specimen trees for smaller gardens or limited spaces, such as patios, can be a challenge, but we think we've cracked it for you here!

The stunning 'Flamingo Willow', or Salix integra 'Hakuro-nishiki' to give it it's correct botanical name, produces a stunning spring and summer spectacle. In early spring the yellow catkins emerge from bare branches before bursting into a mass of amazing creamy pink variegated and tipped new shoots, set against white mottled and marbled leaves. The fabulous foliage contrasts all summer against the coloured stems which remain bright when young through the winter.

It is really hardy and easy to grow, simply prune it back to shape in late autumn, and it is not fussy at all about soil conditions, just do not let it dry out. Great in large pots as a feature plant, it is a definite feature plant that needs to be grown where you can see its delicate colours.

Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come. This variety has also been labelled as a 'Plant for Pollinators' by the RHS.

Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot, ready for potting on or planting out.

Care Information

  • Container plants especially should be kept well-watered, however don't let them sit in permanent wet.
  • Pruning is simply a case of a light trim in spring to reshape the canopy.
