Salix pink flamingo

Thanks Eddybaby......I'm betting it's in a pot containing multi purpose compost! If so, repot in john innes. It will make a diference....holds moisture and nutrients better, gives weight too to the plant.
What size pot too?
It will grow in a pot.....a friend of mine has 2 in heavy pots and look great. They are kept reasonably moist, fed well and mulched

 

This is mine. I bought it this year around April. It was planted in a 60cm tub with John Innes No 3 and bonemeal. It has been fed twice (maybe three times - I dont keep count) with fish, blood & bone. I was watering it once a week before the hot weather struck. I have tried to water it every other day but sometimes it misses a day or two, especially with the football running late into the night. This one was last watered on Sunday. I am very pleased with how it's coming on since I bought it.

Looking great Gary

Flamingo in front garden....a fresh round of pink shoots adds to its colouring. If kept reasonably moist Flamingo will repeatedly add fresh colourful shoots during the summer

 

Hi Verdun. I took your advice and my Salix Flamingo is now thriving. See attached. I haven't planted it out yet (trying to decide on a suitable spot and space is limited) but it looks so much better. Thank you very much for your help.

 

Thanks Eddy....pleased for you
Love it when folk appreciate advice
