<i>Hamamelis</i> x <i>intermedia</i> ‘Jelena’ | Jelena Witch Hazel
DESCRIPTION
Hamamelis x intermedia 'Jelena' is a deciduous shrub celebrated for its striking coppery-orange to reddish-orange flowers that bloom in late winter to early spring before the foliage emerges, with this fragrant display lasting several weeks and adding color to the winter landscape. With an open, spreading habit and gracefully arching branches, it has an attractive silhouette even when not in bloom. Its broad, oval-shaped leaves are medium to dark green during the growing season, turning shades of yellow or orange in fall before dropping. 'Jelena' thrives in moist, well-draining soil and prefers full sun to partial shade. Low-maintenance and tolerant of various soil types, it is prized by gardeners for its year-round interest.
