🌿 Salix integra 'Flamingo Stam', widely known as the Flamingo Willow, is a charming ornamental tree that brings a splash of soft colour and texture to any garden, terrace, or balcony. Its name hints at its most striking feature — the delicate pink tones that tint its leaves in spring, evoking the playful elegance of a flamingo’s plumage. Grafted on a slender stem, this tree offers a clean, rounded canopy that fits beautifully into both formal and naturalistic planting schemes.

🌸 Flowering
In early spring, before the leaves fully emerge, the plant produces small, silvery catkins with a soft texture and subtle charm. These early blooms aren’t particularly showy, but they add to the seasonal interest and are often among the first signs of life in the garden after winter.

🍃 Foliage
The foliage is where 'Flamingo' truly shines. New leaves appear in stunning shades of pink and cream, gradually softening to light green with pale variegation as the season progresses. The result is a soft, airy effect that changes over time, with the spring display being especially vibrant. Regular pruning helps maintain the rounded shape of the canopy and encourages fresh, colourful growth.

📏 Height & Growth
This is a compact, grafted ornamental tree that reaches about 1.5 to 2 metres at maturity. It maintains a tidy, rounded head on a straight, slender stem. Upon delivery, the plant stands at approximately 70–80 cm, offering a well-formed structure that’s easy to integrate into your space.

💧 Care & Irrigation
The Flamingo Willow thrives in a sunny to partially shaded location and prefers moist but well-draining soil. Regular watering is essential, especially in warmer months, to support the bright foliage and overall health of the tree. It’s a low-maintenance plant, though an annual trim will help preserve its neat shape and vibrant colours.

⚠️ Note on Toxicity
While willows are not typically listed as toxic to humans, parts of the plant (like bark or leaves) can be mildly toxic to pets if ingested in large quantities. It's always a good idea to place it out of reach of curious nibblers.

🪴 Format: Upon delivery, the plant has a height of approximately 70–80 cm (measured including the pot). It is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 17 cm.
