Flamingo Japanese Willow
Salix integra

Cultivar 'Flamingo' has pink blooms (mid-June) and is smaller habit (3-5' instead of 6-10+'). It appears to be fine with partial shade. Possible substitute for current location of Clethra alnifolia in shade garden, since Salix integra would not need as much water as Clethra does.

Other cultivars are also an idea.

Buds in spring; variegated foliage in late spring; pink blooms in mid-June; reddish stems; drops leaves late.

Sometimes sold as grafted to single rootstock for single-trunk-tree-like habit, but probably better to get a standard shrub habit.
