Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki' ('Flamingo') - willow with variegated leaves

Salix integra 'Flamingo', or variegated leaf willow, is notable for its spectacular foliage that gives the plant high ornamental value. The colorful leaves appear with the arrival of spring and change color as they mature – in spring they are shades of white, pink, and green, while in summer white and green dominate.

Salix integra 'Flamingo' is generally an undemanding plant with fast growth, but it requires very good light for proper development and appropriate variegation.

Other known names: Japanese willow, Flamingo willow, Flamingo willow, Variegated willow.

Cold tolerance: -15 to -20°C.

During the cold season, the plants are pruned to encourage branching.
