$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Hamamelis japonica var. arborea, commonly known as Japanese witch hazel, is a deciduous shrub that blooms from late winter into early spring. Its fragrant, golden-yellow flowers feature small red centers and appear on leafless branches, providing a bright display during the colder months. As the seasons progress, the broad oval leaves turn yellow in autumn, adding to its ornamental appeal.

Originating from Japan, arborea is notable for its upright growth habit, which distinguishes it from other more spreading forms of Japanese witch hazel. This shrub’s combination of fragrant flowers, vibrant autumn foliage, and distinctive form makes it a valuable addition to gardens seeking multi-season interest.
