Bring four-season interest to your landscape with Fothergilla major 'Mount Airy' (Dwarf Fothergilla 'Mount Airy'), a compact, multi-stemmed deciduous shrub prized for spring blooms and exceptional fall color.

In mid-spring, you will see upright, bottlebrush-like flower spikes that read as bright white in the garden and are often pleasantly fragrant. As the season progresses, the foliage develops into a dense, refined mound that looks tidy through summer and then turns vivid in autumn, commonly showing mixes of red, orange, and yellow tones.

Plant it where you can enjoy it up close: along a walk, near an entry, or at the front of a mixed shrub border. Mature size is typically 60-72 inches tall, making it a strong mid-layer plant that can also serve as a specimen when given room to branch naturally.

For best performance, give your shrub full sun to part shade and a well-drained, humus-rich soil that leans acidic. Water regularly during establishment, then keep soil evenly moist during prolonged dry periods. A light mulch helps hold moisture and protect roots; keep mulch off the stems. Prune only as needed, and do it right after flowering so you do not remove next season's buds.
