$14.00
Common Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) is a deciduous shrub native to North America, treasured for its unique qualities and various uses. Common Witch Hazel is known for its late-season blooms, which typically appear in late autumn. These fragrant, spidery flowers are a valuable nectar source for pollinators, often appearing when other plants have finished flowering.
The extract from Witch Hazel leaves and bark has been traditionally used for its astringent and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s commonly found in skin care products and is used to treat skin irritations and conditions.
This shrub is hardy and adaptable, growing well in a variety of soil types and conditions. It can be an excellent addition to naturalized areas or as a specimen plant in gardens. In addition to its unique bloom time, Witch Hazel provides autumn interest with its yellow to orange fall foliage.
