Tamaricaceae

Tamarix ramosissima ‘Pink Cascade’ is a deciduous shrub with a flexible, arching habit, renowned for its abundant pink flowers and finely cut foliage. This selection develops an arched silhouette, typically wider than it is tall, making it ideal for specimen planting, naturalistic borders, and dry soil landscaping. In summer, a profusion of small, bright pink flowers covers the feathery branches, creating a light and airy effect in the garden. Its very fine, bluish-green foliage adds a delicate texture and interesting movement in the wind. Tolerating drought, wind, and poor, well-drained soils, Tamarix ramosissima ‘Pink Cascade’ prefers a sunny exposure for optimal flowering. It is an excellent choice for country-style gardens or challenging sites.
