 DESCRIPTION

It is really funny to see that a plant, from an unknown reason, is suddenly labeled as POP plant, meaning currently IN FASHION (and what if it is no longer IN?? dig it out and call for Garden Vogue help to change it with a new POP?). Anyway, must say, there is something, and in fact quite a lot, about this witch hazel. They are beautiful shrubs or small trees of an open vase shape, growing to some 3-4m which is ideal for even a small garden. Truth being this witch hazel is a cross of garden origin between Asian h.japonica and North American h.mollis. Its main feature are the flowers that appear on bare wood in mid to late winter. They are spider-shaped with narrow petals. “Jelena” bears fringe-like flowers of coppery orange colour. Leaves are similar to hazel, but larger and turn beautiful orangey-red in autumn. Do not prune older plants. Soil has to be acidic to neutral, moist but well drained. Witch hazels will not tolerate lime. Sunny location or light semi-shade is best. Fully hardy but exposed sites are not recommended.
