Witch Hazel is a large rounded shrub that has excellent clear yellow fall color. Its feathery yellow flowers are displayed in October and November. Its leaves are 3-4" long and almost as wide giving the plant a fairly coarse texture. This large plant should be given plenty of space. Used in the landscape as a specimen or in naturalized areas.

Requirements and Culture:
Requires a fertile, moist soil. Full sun or partial shade. Tolerates heavy shade but plant will be more open and fall color is less intense.

Limitations:
No serious insect or disease problems. Not tolerant of drought.
