Hamamelis (Witch Hazel)

Jeff walks us through how to plant Hamamelis in a pot before moving to the border in this easy to follow video tutorial.

Hamamelis or Witch Hazel is a fragrant winter flowering shrub with spider-like flowers in stunning shades of yellow, orange and in rare cases red. Once leaves have fallen, spidery flowers bloom in vibrant colours which breathe fantastic life into a winter garden when other plants are dying back. These intriguing blooms are sweetly fragrant and very eye catching in the bare winter season. From late winter all the way through to March, this plant will put on a terrific display.

 

Below are our varieties of Hamamelis, with a collection of all three available for a contrasting display of unlikely winter colour.
