Tamarisk ‘Pink Cascade’ (Tamarix ramosissima ‘Pink Cascade’) is a graceful, fast-growing deciduous shrub or small tree, prized for its airy, arching branches and feathery, fine-textured foliage. During late summer, it produces cascades of delicate, soft pink flowers on wispy, slender stems, creating a striking display that attracts pollinators.
This hardy shrub is winter deciduous, shedding its fine, green foliage in autumn to reveal an attractive, sculptural branching structure. In spring, fresh, feathery leaves emerge, giving it a soft, almost mist-like appearance. By late summer, its summer-deciduous nature may cause partial leaf drop in prolonged dry conditions, but it remains a resilient and drought-tolerant choice for coastal and Mediterranean-style gardens.
Tamarisk ‘Pink Cascade’
Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, Tamarisk ‘Pink Cascade’ is highly tolerant of wind, salt spray, and poor soils, making it an excellent choice for coastal landscapes, informal hedging, or as a statement feature in wildlife-friendly gardens. Low maintenance and adaptable, it brings movement and texture to any outdoor space.
