Plant information

Plant Description

Salix integra ‘Hakuro-nishiki’, commonly known as Flamingo Willow, is a striking deciduous shrub grown for its beautifully variegated foliage. Fresh spring growth emerges soft pink, fading to white and green as the season progresses, creating a luminous, ever-changing display. Slender red stems add winter interest once the leaves fall. Ideal for borders, containers or as a small specimen shrub, it thrives in full sun to light shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Regular pruning in early spring encourages vibrant new growth and maintains a compact, tidy shape, making it a reliable and eye-catching garden feature.
