A popular dwarf willow that is much loved for its flamboyant ‘flamingo’ foliage in spring – a variegated mix of green and white, with pink tips. The narrow,  lance-shaped leaves fade to green over the season to be replaced by  coral-orange stems over the winter. A good choice for smaller gardens,  Salix integra ‘Hakuro-nishiki’ is a compact shrub or small tree bearing the  prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society.
                                    
                                        How to care for Salix integra Flamingo (PBR):
                                         Prune back hard in winter. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter and shorten any over-long shoots.
