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