Product Description
Finding great specimen trees for smaller gardens or limited spaces, such as patios, can be a challenge, but we think we've cracked it for you here!
The stunning 'Flamingo Willow' tree, or Salix integra 'Hakuro-nishiki' to give it it's correct botanical name, produces a stunning spring and summer ritual, bursting forth from bare branches, often with catkins on, into a mass of amazing creamy pink variegated and tipped new shoots, set against white mottled and marbled leaves, keeping that lovely contrast all summer.
It is really hardy and easy to grow, simply hack it back to shape in late autumn, it is great in large pots as a feature plant, but needs to be grown where you can see it's delicate colours. It's not fussy at all for soil conditions, but do not let it dry out.
Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot, approx. 80-90cm tall, shaped standard head.

Quality good as usual, would have been 5 stars but again let down by courier service. The tree was left on it?s side despite clear labeling on the box and was also left outside the porch when instructions were to leave inside. Also the courier company who deliver garden bargains in my area never knock or ring the doorbell, it?s only by chance or observant neighbours that l know it?s been delivered.

The Web site was very good along with the good prices. Ordering was simple and straightforward, however once ordered we waited 3 weeks and had not heard anything concerning the delivery of our goods. I then sent an email about our concerns and tried the telephone number, which didnt connect. We were just about to report it as a scam website, when after nearly a month I received an email. You need to make talking to your customers a higher priority.

The delivery was delayed but there was no communication about it. In addition, I ordered some plug plants and less than 50% survived. While it can be a bit hit and miss with plug plants, I have never had such low survival rates with other companies I have used in the past.

When the fact that I had not received my order as stated was brought to their attention the problem was addressed very quickly and a new delivery was arranged at their expense. It was delivered by a very charming young man from yodel , together we opened the parcel and I am pleased to say the 'Hakuru Nishiki' was undamaged and just what I had expected.

I placed my order on the 23.02.2019 and paid 6.99 for delivery. As yet I have not received it despite having had notification that it had been dispatched and would be delivered by 07.03.2019. I was issued with a tracking number which is useless and so I have not been able to track the order. I will not be making any futher purchases from Garden bargains!Product:
I am yet to receive my purchase !

The headline offer was for a one metre tree, but once ordered, it was suddenly a 90cm tree. I phoned the company to point this out & ask if there was a corresponding 10!% discount. I was told that an e mail about the height discrepancy would be sent to head office & they would call me back. No such return call to me was ever made.Product:
The recipient of the tree seemed pleased with it, but she didn't know that it should have been taller.

Unfortunately, there has been some unexpected staff absence due to illness which has affected our response times in the short term. I am very sorry for any inconvenience caused by this.
As explained, the trees were recently trimmed back by our nursery experts to encourage new growth.

customer service excellent, helpful advice and willingness to assist if there is a problem my only comment is that the packing of plants needs to be addressed as ome of my plants have been packed in boxes far too small, so the brachnes get broken and it is really hard to get the plants out without damaging them further. also the pots they were in were broken too so there was compost everywhere.Product:
good quality and size of plant, looks healthy so will wait for Spring to see leaf colours

I am pleased with the tree and bulbs and the price was good. BUT, I did not realise until after I had ordered that it would take 5-7 days to be despatched and then another 2 days to actually arrive. The delivery times should be made clear before ordering.
