Willow - Japanese The Japanese Willow, 'Salix Integra Flamingo', produces beautiful pink foliage all season long. Great as a container plant. Then you see the pink summer foliage and in the fall and winter the striking red stems. The outer leaves turn a bright pink while the inner leaves are green and white. The Japanese Willow has 4 season interest. You may prune the plant back for another flush of pink foliage later in the season. In the spring, before it leafs out, it produces hundreds of slender catkins that contrast brilliantly against the deep red stems. Regular pruning will promote a denser and bushier plant. |
