Salix integra Flamingo - Dappled Willow - Hakuro Nishiki Shrub

These Hakuro Nishiki or Flamingo Salix are extremely popular plants, with spectacular deep pink foliage covering the entire shrub in spring.

Elegant and fast-growing with new shoots which are heavily blotched with white and pink, fading as the leaf ages, this is fully hardy and very easy to grow. Slender yellow catkins appear in spring before the leaves, these retain a strong pink colour throughout the growing season, producing an enormous range of contrasting colours in the garden.

The branches are long and slightly droop, giving a relaxed feel, making it ideal for growing plants in a pot on the patio or in garden beds and borders.

This plant prefers moist, but well drained soil and is happy in loam, clay or sandy soil. Position in either full, or partially shaded areas of the garden. It's happy in both exposed spots and more sheltered ones.

Supplied in approx 2-3 litre containers.
