Witch Hazel 10 Seeds Hamamelis virginiana

Hamamelis virginiana, commonly known as American witch hazel, is a hardy deciduous shrub or small tree native to the woodlands of eastern North America, admired for its unique late-season flowering and medicinal heritage. Blooming in late autumn, often after its leaves have fallen, it produces clusters of ribbon-like yellow petals that curl and unfurl with the weather, releasing a subtle, spicy fragrance that enlivens the bare landscape when few other plants are in bloom. The oval, wavy-edged leaves turn warm shades of golden yellow in fall, complementing the flowers and adding to its seasonal charm. Growing 10 to 20 feet tall with a broad, spreading habit, Hamamelis virginiana makes an excellent specimen or understory shrub in naturalized or woodland gardens. It thrives in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soils and tolerates both sun and partial shade, adapting well to a range of conditions. Graceful, resilient, and subtly beautiful, Hamamelis virginiana brings an unexpected touch of color and fragrance to the quiet months of late fall, extending the garden’s interest well into winter.
