Tamarix parviflora
Spring Flowered Tamarix
The spring flowering Tamarix parviflora is the plant most likely to be seen growing in Victoria. As it flowers on the new growth we cut it to near ground level each winter. It then makes long willowy blue leaved growth which is covered in fluffy bright pink flowers. Coppiced it will make 200cm x 150cm. Grown as a tree it makes twice that. Drought tolerant.
