The Virginia Witch Hazel dazzles with its spidery yellow flowers that appear in late fall, often blooming from October to December, when most other plants are entering dormancy. These fragrant blossoms, with their ribbon-like petals, add a splash of color and a delightful scent to the autumn garden.
In addition to its striking blooms, the Virginia Witch Hazel features broad, green leaves that turn a stunning array of yellow and orange hues in the fall, creating a breathtaking display of seasonal color. This hardy shrub thrives in USDA zones 3 to 8, adapting well to various soil types and light conditions, from full sun to partial shade.
Growing to a mature height of 15 to 20 feet and a spread of 10 to 15 feet, the Virginia Witch Hazel is perfect for use as a specimen plant, in mixed borders, or as part of a woodland garden. Its dense, multi-stemmed form also makes it an excellent choice for naturalizing and providing wildlife habitat.
