Common Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) - 3 Gallon

Common Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) brings a bright finishing touch to the autumn garden. Slender, ribbon-like yellow petals unfurl along its branches late in the season, while broad green leaves turn warm yellow in fall. Its open, multi-stemmed form adds natural structure and a woodland feel throughout the growing season.

Native to eastern North America, this deciduous shrub is a lovely choice for woodland margins, native gardens, and informal screening. Give it room to develop its spreading silhouette, with ferns or other woodland perennials beneath its branches.

Plant in moist, acidic, humus-rich, well-drained soil. Water regularly while roots establish and during dry weather, as common witch hazel does not tolerate drought well. Prune only as needed to maintain shape, keeping in mind that flowers develop on older growth.
