Bring late-season interest to your landscape with Hamamelis virginiana. This native shrub or small tree is prized for its fragrant, ribbon-like yellow flowers that open along bare branches in fall and early winter, often just as the foliage turns bright yellow. Its open, multi-stemmed habit makes it a beautiful woodland-edge accent, a naturalized understory feature, or a specimen where you can enjoy the flowers up close.

Plant in full sun for the best flowering, but it also performs well in partial shade and even shade. Give it a site with moist, well-drained soil and room to mature. Once established, it is a low-maintenance plant that fits easily into native plantings, mixed shrub borders, and informal screens.

Mature size is about 15-20 ft tall with a spread that can reach 15-20 ft, so plan spacing accordingly. In autumn you may see flowers and developing seed capsules at the same time, adding extra seasonal character.

For best results, water during dry spells in the first couple of seasons, mulch to moderate soil moisture, and prune only as needed right after flowering to shape or remove damaged wood. Hamamelis virginiana is a dependable choice for adding color, fragrance, and wildlife value when few other plants are in bloom.
