Hamamelis, commonly known as witch hazel, is a deciduous shrub that flowers in winter. The unusual spidery blossoms appear like flames along the bare branches at the coldest time of year.
Their unique flowers and beautiful autumn foliage add year-round interest to the garden.
The most commonly grown varieties of Hamamelis are yellow, but there are also varieties which have red, orange and mauve flowers. Many varieties of Hamamelis have citrus-scented flowers which are good to cut and bring indoors.
They can take a while to get established, but worth it once the flowers get going!
We suggest planting in a sunny position, that is not too exposed, they will need frost protection until well established.
Witch hazel can do well in containers in small gardens planted in a sunny spot or partial shade. Add Pot feet to ensure good drainage.

These gorgeous little white flowers are an essential part of the winter garden, giving cheer in the darkest of days.
They can be planted in drifts in the shade of deciduous trees (such as the Witch hazel tree mentioned above!) or in pots to herald the end of winter.
