Hamamelis (Witch Hazel)
Explore the wonderful world of witch hazels! These magical shrubs offer numerous noteworthy attributes for the adventurous gardener, including unique flowers, fragrance and outstanding fall color. They are useful additions to the landscape where they can be used as small shade-tolerant trees with several seasons of interest. Underplant with bulbs and perennials to complete the picture! The genus Hamamelis includes several species native to the Eastern United States including H. virginiana and H. vernalis. Asian species include H. mollis and H. japonica, which hybridizers have used to create a host of outstanding cultivars ranging in flower color from citron yellow to dark purple-red. As all witch hazel cultivars are budded onto seedling understock (usually H. virginiana) you should be on the lookout for any unusually vigorous shoots arising from the base of the plant. Yellow flowers in autumn will be another clue that these shoots are from the understock, not the cultivar. Simply prune them out as soon as possible.
