WITCH HAZELS

Witch hazels are elegant deciduous shrubs with delicate, spidery flowers that bloom in winter or early spring, often when little else is in flower. These flowers, in shades of bright yellow, orange, red, or burgundy, appear in fragrant, ribbon-like petals creating a graceful contrast against the often bare branches. Witch hazels are a great choice for a woodland garden, mixed shrub border, or naturalized landscape.
