Description
This is the shrub form of the ‘Flamingo’ Dappled Willow, Salix integra. It is very similar to its cousin Salix integra ‘Hakuro Nishiki’. Honestly, we can’t tell much of a difference between the two cultivars. Both have very similar habit and form with outstanding variegated white, pink and green leaves in spring that mature to green and white during summer. During the winter, the red branches of ‘Flamingo’ offer good winter color, similar to those on red-twig dogwood. Flamingo is a very fast-growing deciduous shrub that responds well to shearing for hedges or various formal shapes, which when done during the growing season encourages new growth with the tricolor variegation. An eye-catching specimen in the landscape!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 6 to 10 feet tall and equally as wide depending on pruning, the Flamingo Dappled Willow Shrub is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings or as a natural or formal clipped hedge in sunny landscape borders. A fine addition to pink gardens, cottage gardens and formal gardens when clipped as a hedge or to various formal shapes.
Growing Preferences
The Flamingo Dappled Willow is easy to grow in wide range of soils. It prefers a consistently moist but well-drained soil of average fertility. That said, established plants will tolerate dry periods much better than other willow species. It will tolerate clay soil but we recommend amending with organic matter such as compost or a planting mix. It likes full to mostly sun in zones 5a-7a, but will appreciate some shade or filtered sun during the hottest afternoon hours in zones further south. No pruning is necessary however the plant responds well to light pruning and shearing during the active growing season, which stimulates more pink new growth. Cease pruning two months prior to the average first-frost date in your area. Heavy pruning to reduce the size of the canopy should be done while the plant is dormant, in either early winter or very early spring before catkins any new leaves appear.
Plant Long & Prosper!
