Description
Common Witch Hazel is a striking deciduous shrub that thrives in Massachusetts, offering golden-yellow flowers in late fall. Its fragrant, strap-like blooms appear along bare branches, creating a stunning display before the green foliage emerges in spring. As autumn arrives, its serrated leaves turn a brilliant yellow, blending seamlessly into New England landscapes.
With a wide-spreading habit, Common Witch Hazel makes an excellent choice for larger spaces where its beauty can be fully appreciated. This low-maintenance shrub is ideal for naturalized settings, woodland gardens, or as a focal point in mixed borders. Common Witch Hazel’s late-season blooms and rich fall color provide year-round interest in Massachusetts gardens.
