Description:
The Pink Cascade Tamerisk produces masses of deep pink flowers that creates an ostrich plume effect. It is the last shrub to bloom with flowers beginning to emerge at the tail end of August and stretchy throughout the entire month of September until the first killing frost. This ultra hardy plant tolerates dry salty conditions and does not like standing water. Although it can rebloom year after year it is best to cut the plant right back to the roots every spring to maximum the blossoms count in the fall. Ideal for the late season splash of colour in a sunny location! |
