The flowers range in warm shades of yellow, orange, and reddish-bronze, adding color and interest to the landscape during an otherwise quiet season.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis shrub works well in mixed borders, woodland gardens, hedgerows, and naturalized areas, where its spreading habit and seasonal display can be appreciated. The blooms carry a light, sweet fragrance, and the foliage turns attractive shades of yellow in autumn. It is a long-lived, low-maintenance selection for temperate gardens.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Hamamelis vernalis\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Deciduous flowering shrub\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, spreading, multi-stemmed\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 4-8\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Seeds benefit from cold stratification; sow in moist medium and provide a cold period to improve germination\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Sow in autumn outdoors or stratify in a refrigerator before spring sowing\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 10-15 feet apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Slow to moderate grower; blooms on bare wood in late winter to early spring\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67664718364808,"sku":"WOSE-038","price":9.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_caa19893-71dc-40fd-a15c-b5dcdb65cf6e.png?v=1791898052","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/15-seeds-vernal-witch-hazel-hamamelis-vernalis-fragrant-winter-blooming-shrub","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
