The Flamingo Willow Tree Gift
- With its incredible array of variegated leaf colour, including pink, cream and green, vivid orange stems in autumn and fluffy yellow catkins in spring, the flamingo willow really does make the perfect gift for popping in a patio pot or framing a doorway as part of a pair.
- Willows have traditionally represented renewal and vitality, and with its stunning spectrum of constantly-shifting colour, this tree fits that sentiment and does so with cheery aplomb!
- The flamingo willow holds both the RHS Award of Garden Merit and is certifed as one of its Plants for Pollinators, showing just how highly-regarded this tree is.
- This gift sees the tree's pot wrapped up in a tactile hessian sheet, tied with a stylish bow and then packaged in a premium box, complete with a full, easy-to-follow care card inside.
- Perfect for patio, balcony and terrace growing, this tree loves a nice sunny spot and thrives in a container with moist but well-drained compost.

Meet Mike's trusted specialists
Start with a touch of continental sun
Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where that’s not possible, Mike sources the best specialist growers in Europe for the job. Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the Cotswolds, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
