Witch hazel, Latin name hamamelis, is a large ornamental shrub with spider-like flowers. This shrub is low maintenance, and popular for use as a hedge or border. Witch hazel is popular for its unusual ornamental flowers with a strong fragrance, and showy leaf colors during the fall season. Common witch hazel typically blooms during fall, but hybrid cultivars produce blooms in late winter or early spring instead.
Please contact the nursery for availability each season.
