Tamarix juniperina (Tamarisk)

Large shrub with a dense bushy habit. Graceful, slender branches and plume like foliage. Tiny bright pink flowers appear at the ends of the branches in spring. Fantastic for coastal and exposed sites, good in poor soils. Trim after flowering to maintain a dense shape. Avoid cold wet sites. Deciduous, losing all the foliage in colder months.
