Witch-hazel
Hamamelis virginiana
Witch-hazel is a low-maintenance native shrub that thrives in partial shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil. It is famous for its spidery yellow flowers that bloom in late fall to early winter, providing color when little else is flowering. Once established, it requires minimal intervention and is an excellent choice for woodland garden edges.
