| Description | This is a very low maintenance, tough deciduous shrub. Although it gets big eventually, it is slow growing. Hamamelis produces flowers in mid-late Winter. Flowers come in yellows or reds (depending variety), and smell divine. It has ornamental bark, which maintains interest when the leaves have fallen. Mid-green leaves turn golden in Autumn, before flowers are produced. |
