ORANGE PEEL WITCH HAZEL

The Hamamelis x intermedia 'Orange Peel' is a vibrant deciduous shrub celebrated for its exceptionally bright, marmalade-colored flowers that ignite the winter landscape. True to its name, the ribbon-like petals possess a distinct golden-orange hue and a rich, citrusy fragrance. Emerging on bare branches between January and March, these flowers provide a rare burst of warmth and perfume when most other plants are dormant. Following the floral display, the shrub produces broad, forest-green leaves that offer a lush backdrop for summer before shifting into a spectacular autumnal finale of fiery yellow and burnished orange.

'Orange Peel' Witch Hazel thrives in full sun to partial shade with moist, acidic, and well-drained soil. While it is adaptable, planting it in a sunny position ensures the most prolific flowering and the most intense fragrance during the winter months. It is important to avoid heavy, compacted clay or areas where water sits, as the root system requires consistent moisture without being waterlogged.
