Witchhazel-Vernal 4'B

Vernal Witchhazel (Hamamelis vernalis) is a beautiful native deciduous shrub featuring clusters of delicate, ribbon-like flowers in shades of yellow, orange, and reddish-orange that emerge in late winter to early spring, releasing a delightful spicy fragrance before the foliage appears. Thriving in full sun to partial shade with moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil, this naturally rounded, spreading shrub is an excellent choice for woodland gardens, mixed shrub borders, and naturalized landscapes throughout central Illinois. Vernal Witchhazel offers exceptional cold hardiness, valuable early-season interest, and attractive green foliage that turns golden-yellow in autumn, bringing welcome color and fragrance to the garden when few other plants are blooming.
