Part of the Tamaricaceae family, tamarisks are also known as salt cedars, owing to their ability to grow in saline conditions. In exposed places they make good windbreaks.

Tamarix ramosissima is native to eastern Europe and temperate Asia, though it has been introduced to parts of the United States. It's a deciduous shrub or small tree with glaucous feathery foliage and plumes of bright pink flowers. Tamarix ramosissima 'Pink Cascade' has darker pink flowers.

For best results, grow Tamarix ramosissima 'Pink Cascade' in full sun, in well-drained soil. Avoid planting in shallow chalky soils. Let them develop into a small tree, or prune the old flowered stems right out each year, in late winter or early spring, to restrict their size.
