Common Witchhazel

Witchhazel is a fall blooming large-scale shrub with native and wildlife value. Fragrant, four crinkly petaled, ribbon-like flowers draw your interest toward the end of fall. It’s unique crooked-branched crown is a great addition to a hedge or naturalized border. Common Witchhazel’s tolerance to poor site conditions, salt, and air pollution make it a great choice for urban environments near roadways, parking lots or parks.
