DESCRIPTION
Hamamelis x intermedia 'Pallida' is a deciduous shrub that produces soft, buttery yellow flowers from mid to late winter. The blooms have long, ribbon-like petals that stand out against the bare branches, creating a luminous effect in the winter garden. Each flower emits a pleasant, sweet fragrance, adding to its appeal during the colder months. As the seasons progress, its bright green summer foliage transforms into rich shades of yellow in autumn, enhancing its year-round ornamental value.

Originally introduced in the early 20th century, 'Pallida' remains one of the most highly regarded witch hazel cultivars for its exceptionally clear yellow flowers and strong fragrance. Unlike some other yellow-flowering varieties, its blooms are known for their intensity and longevity, often persisting even through harsh winter conditions. This cultivar’s combination of abundant flowering, reliable scent, and brilliant fall color makes it a standout choice for adding seasonal interest to the landscape.
