Description
Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki', commonly known as the Flamingo Willow, is a highly декоратив and fast-growing ornamental tree, prized for its striking variegated foliage in shades of pink, white, and green. Trained as a standard tree with an 80cm clear stem, it forms a neat rounded crown, making it a standout feature in gardens and patio containers.
In spring, the new growth emerges soft pink, gradually blending into cream and green variegated leaves as the season progresses. This colourful display gives the tree a light, airy appearance and provides continuous interest throughout spring and summer.
The compact standard form adds height, structure, and architectural interest to borders, patios, and entranceways. Its naturally bushy head responds well to pruning, allowing it to be maintained as a neat and attractive globe shape.
Salix 'Hakuro Nishiki' is hardy, easy to grow, and well suited to moist soils and sunny positions, making it a reliable and eye-catching addition to a wide range of garden styles.
Supplied as a standard tree with an 80cm clear stem in a 5L pot, this well-shaped specimen provides instant impact and seasonal colour.
