Tamarix tetrandra
Blooming in late May, this species makes it possible to have the airy, pink flowers of tamarix in spring as well as summer. Perfect for the dry bed, this irregularly shaped deciduous shrub or small tree graces the garden with its extremely fine sprays of green cypress-like foliage throughout summer and fall. Ultimate dimensions of 4,5 x 4,5 meter are possible but it needs some help to achieve tree stature; otherwise, it can be cut back at regular intervals to maintain a smaller plant that will still flower.
