HAMAMELIS MOLLIS
Grower Notes:

Hamamelis mollis is commonly referred to as Chinese Witch Hazel. It is an open, upright, deciduous shrub with a more rounded shape. It produces showy, fragrant yellow flowers from January to March on bare branches before its leaves emerge. Flowers consist of very unique crinkled ribbon-like petals. Hamamelis mollis is noteworthy for producing the most fragrant flowers of all Witch Hazels. Its fall color consists of attractive shades of yellow and orange.

Chinese Witch Hazel thrives in full sun to part shade in rich, acidic, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It is ideal in shrub borders and also as a specimen planting.
