(2-3’ bareroot) Hamamelis virginiana - 12-20’ tall, 15-20’ spread. Witch hazel is famous for its distinctive flowering period, usually blooming in late fall or early winter. Its yellow, ribbon-like flowers provide a striking visual element in the landscape during the colder months. Often used in landscaping as a specimen shrub or small tree, witch hazel also has medicinal value. Extracts are commonly used in astringents due to their anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. Witch hazel provides valuable benefits to wildlife, particularly in winter when other food sources are limited. Its flowers attract bees, especially late-season pollinators, while the seed capsules offer food for various bird species once they open in the fall. Witch hazel prefers well-drained, moist soil that is slightly acidic to neutral, but it’s adaptable to various soil types, including sandy and loamy soils. Poor drainage can lead to root rot, so it is important to plant witch hazel in well-drained soil to prevent this problem. Zone: 3-8
