Why Choose Witch Hazel
Witch Hazel delivers color, fragrance, and structure when most shrubs are dormant. Ideal for borders, mixed landscapes, woodland edges, or as a standalone specimen, it provides winter and early-spring interest. Low-maintenance and durable, it’s a reliable addition to any garden.
Landscape Uses & Care Guide
Plant along woodland edges, near patios, in mixed borders, or as a feature shrub. Maintain a balanced shape with minimal pruning. Water regularly during the first season to establish roots, then reduce frequency. Mulching helps retain moisture and protects roots during winter.
Planting & Care Instructions
- Choose a location with morning sun and light afternoon shade.
- Prepare well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil.
- Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and slightly wider.
- Place the shrub so the root ball top is level with the soil.
- Backfill gently, water deeply to remove air pockets.
- Add 2–3 inch mulch around the base for moisture retention.
- Prune only damaged or broken branches; allow natural shape to develop.
