Tamarix

I planted this shrub about 2 years ago, I had
never seen a shrub
quite like this, it is very striking and
unusual. "Pink Cascade Tamarix",
grows in full sun, 10-15 feet tall and 10 feet
wide in 10 years.

It's foliage is scale-like but soft and
feathery. Masses of
flower panicles create an ostrich plume
effect.
Wild growing, very loose, upright shrub.
The branches should be pruned down to ground
during the
winter season this keeps it from growing too
large.
Blooms in the early summer.
