Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki', or Flamingo Tree, is a compact, deciduous shrub that is perfect for adding a splash of colour to your garden. Salix Flamingo Tree is an elegant, fast-growing small tree with new shoots which are heavily blotched with white and pink, fading as the leaf ages.
The Salix Flamingo Tree is renowned for its striking variegated foliage. The leaves are a beautiful mix of green, white, and pink, with the new growth being particularly vibrant with a pink flush. In spring, the tree also produces slim catkins, which add texture to your space.
Salix integra performs well in moist, well-drained soil and can be planted in either full sun or partial shade.
Fully hardy, this tree can reach up to 2 metres in height and spread over 10 years, making it an ideal choice for smaller gardens, or as a focal point in larger landscapes. Flamingo Tree also works beautifully as a potted tree on a patio due to its compact nature.
This Dwarf Willow's head of branches can be pruned to keep the tree at any height. Every year, Flamingo Tree will thicken as it grows, creating a colourful, textured and dynamic scene.
Its attractive foliage and manageable size make it a versatile addition to any garden setting.
