Product description
Hamamelis Orange Beauty certainly lives up to its name! Better known as Witch Hazel, this winter flowering shrub produces masses of spidery blooms from midwinter to late winter. The flowers have a yellow-orange hue and are tinged with purple towards the centre.
Light green foliage emerges in spring and is flushed with purple before turning dark green for summer. In autumn, the elliptic leaves take on fiery shades of orange and yellow for striking autumn colour.
Witch Hazel is a low maintenance garden shrub that is easy to grow and look after. It prefers slightly acidic, moist but well-drained soil and flourishes in full sun or partial shade. Mulch in spring to help retain moisture in the soil and prune as required to remove dead or damaged branches.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Plant Hamamelis in autumn or early spring to allow roots to establish before extreme temperatures. Prune after flowering to shape and remove deadwood.
How to Water
Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once mature, water during extended dry periods, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged.
How to Plant
Plant Hamamelis in well-draining, slightly acidic soil in a spot with full sun to partial shade. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball, set the plant at the same depth as in its pot, and backfill gently. Add mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
