Better known as Witch Hazel, Hamamelis Westerstede is a hardy flowering garden shrub. The mid-dark green foliage is serrated and turns a pretty shade of yellow for incredible autumn colour interest. Before the new leaves emerge in spring, masses of golden yellow flowers cover the bare branches from early spring. These blooms are lightly scented and boast chocolatey brown sepals at the base.

Witch hazel is a low maintenance, undemanding shrub that thrives without much attention. It prefers neutral to acidic, moist but well-draining soil and flourishes in full sun or partial shade. Hamamelis Westerstede has an attractive shape and only needs pruning when dead or damaged branches need to be removed.
