VERNAL WITCH HAZEL
Hamamelis vernalis is commonly referred to as the Vernal Witch Hazel or the Ozark Witch Hazel. This tough, native, deciduous plant features yellow to red flowers that appear on bare branches in January and February that last approximately three to four weeks. Ovate, rounded leaves emerge light green with reddish-bronze tones in spring, but quickly mature to dark green. Fall brings golden yellow color.
Vernal Witch Hazel enjoys full sun, but will tolerate partial shade. It enjoys rich, acidic, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It is more tolerant of high pH than Hamamelis virginiana.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in deep, fertile, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH, choosing a location that provides full sun to partial shade. These shrubs prefer a site where the soil remains consistently moist, so provide regular water during the first few growing seasons until the root system is well established. Pruning should be minimal and performed immediately after flowering, focusing only on removing dead or crossing branches to maintain their natural, open form. Apply a generous layer of organic mulch around the root zone to stabilize soil temperature and conserve moisture, ensuring the material is kept away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
