Salix integra 'Flamingo'
Salix integra 'Flamingo' is a very bright ornamental willow, cultivated for its spring foliage variegated with soft pink, cream, and pale green, which then turns green edged with white. Its habit is naturally rounded and bushy, with fine reddish branches that add winter appeal. Annual pruning helps renew the colorful young shoots, as these are the ones that bear the most vivid hues. This cultivar is often offered grafted on a standard, but in shrub form, it makes a perfect colorful accent in beds, as a specimen, or in a low informal hedge. It grows quickly in moist soil and full sun, and tolerates pruning and northern climatic conditions well. 'Flamingo' is a high-impact visual contrast shrub from spring to autumn.
