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', or Salix integra 'Hakuro-nishiki' to give it it's correct botanical name, produces a stunning spring and summer spectacle. In early spring the yellow catkins emerge from bare branches before bursting into a mass of amazing creamy pink variegated and tipped new shoots, set against white mottled and marbled leaves. The fabulous foliage contrasts all summer against the coloured stems which remain bright when young through the winter. It is really hardy and easy to grow, simply prune it back to shape in late autumn, and it is not fussy at all about soil conditions, just do not let it dry out. Great in large pots as a feature plant, it is a definite feature plant that needs to be grown where you can see its delicate colours. Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot, ready for potting on or planting out.
Using a unique two-stage process exclusive to us, this natural, microbial treatment starves algae of nutrients and digests the resulting dead organic matter, leaving your pond crystal clear. Step 1. Kick Start Oxygenator - natural bicarbonates and related substances release oxygen, starving algae and weed. You'll see results in just 3-4 days. Step 2. Pure Aqua - introduces a natural biome of bacteria to maintain pond clarity. These degrade muck and slime that has accumulated in the bottom of pond, clarifying water and establishing long term populations. Note that to work, the microbes needs the water to be 10°C or more to work - So use April to October. Pond Clear Pro 2 Step consists of two parts, Kick Start and Pure Aqua which contains specially prepared materials encapsulated with selected strains of bacterial cultures. These attract dispersed particles in your pond and form a core on which the organisms grow, assisting in the generation of sludge which settles out to leave clear water. Odours such as ammonia and sulphur are very rapidly taken up by Pond Start, while heavy metals and other toxic substances are reduced so greatly improving water quality. Some benefits of Pond Clear Pro can be observed immediately after dosing commences, although major improvements in water clarity frequently take a few weeks to become apparent. By using Kick Start as a pre-treatment, you'll see results much more quickly. How to use Kick Start and Pure Aqua PRIOR TO APPLICATION - If your pond has excessive blanket weed, first remove as much as possible and dispose of it on the compost heap. This will prevent the build-up of dead organic material, and therefore improve microbial digestion and reduce oxygen consumption. See how to calculate the volume of your pond here: www.yougarden.com/pondclear.htm Step 1, Day 1 - Add Kick-Start Oxygenator, the Fast-Acting Pre-treatment Sprinkle contents of the Kick Start sachet into the Pond. One sachet will treat a pond up to 20,000 litres. For ponds over 20,000 litres add an extra sachet for each additional 20,000 litres. Step 2, Day 3-4 - Add Pure Aqua with 'Zeolite Ultra' to both extend and enhance performance. Open your pack of Pure Aqua and simply drop the sachet(s) into the pond. The sachet(s) is biodegradable, so will dissolve releasing the microbes into the water and the Zeolite will drop to the bottom. Each soluble sachet is sufficient to treat a pond up to 10,000 litres Suitable for all pond types including fish ponds, wildlife ponds and natural swimming pools. May also be used in water butts and tanks to eliminate algae.
