Hamamelis x 'Amethyst' (Witch Hazel)

Hamamelis × ‘Amethyst’
(Witch Hazel)

‘Amethyst’ brings color to the late-winter garden with lightly fragrant, reddish-purple flowers that open along bare branches from late winter into early spring. The narrow, ribbon-like petals create an unusual display at a time when few other shrubs are in bloom.

Gray-green foliage fills out the plant through the growing season, then turns shades of red and orange in fall. Its rounded habit and multi-season interest make it a good choice for mixed shrub borders, woodland edges, or as a specimen.

This witch hazel performs well in full sun to part shade and provides interest from late winter through fall.
