Flamingo Willow Ornamental Tree Description

The Flamingo Willow is a compact, deciduous ornamental tree cherished for its vibrant, variegated foliage and graceful form. Growing to about 1.5–2.5 metres (5–8 feet) in height, with a similar spread, it makes an eye-catching addition to smaller gardens, borders, or even large pots.

The Flamingo Willow is celebrated for its unique foliage, which emerges as a stunning soft pink in spring before maturing into an attractive mix of creamy white and green. This variegated foliage creates a dappled effect, which is enhanced by the tree’s weeping form and fine, slender leaves. While the small, yellow catkins produced in spring are subtle, the foliage remains the true standout, offering seasonal interest well into autumn, when the leaves drop.

Pruning Advice

Pruning the Flamingo Willow is straightforward and essential for maintaining its shape and promoting new, colourful growth. Prune annually in late winter or early spring, removing any dead or damaged branches. Trim back young growth by about one-third to encourage a dense, bushy form and to enhance the tree’s striking foliage colours.

Avoid heavy pruning in summer, as this can reduce the vibrancy of the variegation. Regular pruning also helps maintain the tree’s compact size and encourages healthier, stronger growth. In addition, thinning out any crossing or crowded branches improves airflow and reduces the risk of pests and disease.

The Flamingo Willow is a delightful, low-maintenance choice for adding dynamic colour and texture to gardens of all sizes, offering beauty, versatility, and ease of care throughout the seasons.

Further Information

Compact Size: Ideal for small gardens, patios, and container planting, where its manageable size and bushy form can create a striking focal point without overwhelming the space.

Decorative Foliage: The colourful, variegated leaves bring vivid seasonal colour to any garden, particularly in spring and early summer.

Wildlife-Friendly: The small catkins attract bees and other pollinators in spring, providing early forage, while its dense foliage offers shelter for smaller garden wildlife.

Low Maintenance: With its natural shape and moderate growth, it requires minimal care beyond regular watering and light pruning.
