Corylopsis (Winter Hazel)
These members of the witch hazel family are deciduous, multi-stemmed shrubs blooming in very early spring with flowers of light yellow in short, pendulous racemes. Branching habit is arching, producing a wide-spreading plant. You might be thinking forsythia at this point, but these are quite different; they bloom a bit earlier; the color is much softer; the flowers smaller, hanging in graceful tassels; and the habit is much more refined. Ultimate size depends upon the species, ranging from the smallest, dainty, fragrant, and floriferous, C. pauciflora, Buttercup Winterhazel at 4-6 feet, to the fragrant, deeper yellow, C. platypetala at 10-15 feet. All are best for the woodland garden, acidic soil, and a bit of shade in Zones (5) 6-8. Since they bloom so early, they are susceptible to late frosts, so site them carefully.

CORYLOPSIS glabrescens
(C) Considered the hardiest species, this large shrub grows to 15 feet high and wide, has yellow bell flowers in short pendant clusters very early in spring. more info

CORYLOPSIS glabrescens 'Longwood Chimes'
selected as an outstanding specimen for the Gardens, because it has flowers and inflorescences larger than typical for this species. Its flowers are exceptionally fragrant and open about two weeks later than most other corylopsis. more info

CORYLOPSIS gotoana
This is very similar to C. glabrescens and considered synonymous by many experts. more info

CORYLOPSIS pauciflora
(C8) The easiest species to fit in the smaller garden. The habit is much more dense and twiggy than the other species. The pale yellow flowers appear at the end of winter in pendulous spikes. more info

CORYLOPSIS spicata 'Aurea'
(C8) Bright yellow leaves follow the showy early yellow flowers and keep partially shaded corners of the garden bright. Appreciates soil with adequate moisture, and some shade will keep the leaves looking good. more info
