Hamamelis virginiana, Witchhazel

 Pictures to Come!

 

Witch-hazel is another one of those species that prefers just a few more inches of rain a year than most Minnesota's counties have to offer. It is native to woodlands along the St. Croix and the Driftless Region of southeastern Minnesota. That said, it is a common yard shrub of various cultivars sold at many nurseries. I've decided to offer the straight native species beginning late summer and early fall of 2023.

Blooms: greenish-yellow, September through October

Height: 6 to 18 feet

Conditions: shade to pt shade, moist-medium to medium soils
