Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

This is a selection of variegated boxelder. The leaves have 3 to 5 lobes, and are variegated white and green with hints of pink. Foliage turns gold in fall. Blooms are inconspicuous. Because of the leaf coloration, Flamingo prefers regular watering during hot summer months and late day shade to protect the white in the foliage from burning. It can grow 25 to 35 feet tall and nearly as wide.
