Witch Hazel
Hamamelis × intermedia
Witch Hazel is winter's flower — fragrant, spidery blooms in yellow, orange, and red that appear on bare branches in the dead of winter when nothing else dares to bloom. 'Arnold Promise' (yellow) and 'Diane' (red) are stunning. The fall foliage rivals any maple — brilliant yellow, orange, and scarlet. A truly extraordinary four-season plant.

Care Guide
Plant in full sun to partial shade with moist, well-drained, acidic soil. Mulch to retain moisture. Prune after flowering to shape. Remove any suckers from rootstock. Virtually pest-free. Give it room — don't crowd against structures. One of the most rewarding shrubs in the entire landscape.
