Hamamelis x intermedia 'Arnold Promise' | Arnold Promise Witch Hazel
DESCRIPTION
Hamamelis x intermedia ‘Arnold Promise’ is a deciduous shrub renowned for its stunning winter blooms and attractive foliage. The fragrant, spidery golden-yellow flowers, often tinged with red, appear in late winter to early spring when the shrub is still leafless, providing valuable early-season nectar for pollinators like bees. The large, oval leaves are dark green and slightly hairy, turning vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and red in the fall, adding a splash of color to the landscape before they drop. Relatively easy to grow and low-maintenance, ‘Arnold Promise’ prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-draining soil. It is also pest and disease resistant, making it a reliable choice for gardeners. Its striking winter blooms and attractive foliage make it a valuable addition to any garden, providing interest and color during the dreary winter months.
