Salixkwekerij Bontekoe has been fully dedicated to the cultivation of Salix on stems for almost thirty years. Various varieties are cultivated on different locations in Boskoop and Hazerswoude. The Salix integra Flamingo can be considered our ‘flagship product’. This variant originates from the Hakuro Nishiki, is patented and becomes more successful each year. The Salix Flamingo is also available on a braided or spiral stem. Take a look at the full assortment.
The patented Salix integra Flamingo was discovered in May 1996 as a mutated plant in a population of the Hakuro Nishiki cultivar. The Flamingo stood out thanks to its pink/red color spout from green to green/white colored leaves, the thick and pink to red colored stems, narrower leaves and its good resistance to sun.
