Tamarisk tolerate salt-laden air and drought. They're not so likely to
be happy with permanently wet soil. They're deep rooted plants, which
might be a contraindication for growing them in a pot.

They also like full sun.

If your climate is like that in the southers states of the US of A
then worry, but if you have normal UK weather then wory more about
keeping it going.
Nice plants though they can get straggly, but take cutting back well
when established
