Description
Salix integra 'Flamingo', commonly known as the Flamingo Willow, is a highly ornamental deciduous shrub admired for its delicate variegated foliage in shades of pink, cream, and green. This eye-catching plant brings soft colour and movement to the garden, making it a popular choice for borders and feature planting.
In spring, the new growth emerges a vibrant soft pink, gradually maturing into a mix of green and creamy white variegated leaves. This ever-changing foliage creates a light, airy effect that brightens planting schemes throughout the growing season.
With its naturally bushy and upright habit, Salix 'Flamingo' is ideal for mixed borders, informal hedging, and container planting. It also responds very well to pruning, which encourages fresh colourful growth and helps maintain a compact shape.
Fast-growing, hardy, and easy to care for, this versatile willow thrives in sunny positions and moist soil conditions, making it a reliable addition to a wide range of gardens.
Supplied in a 2L pot, this young plant is ready to establish quickly and provide vibrant seasonal interest.
