Hamamelis: Winter colour when it matters most
When most plants are still dormant, Hamamelis (witch hazel) brings gardens to life with vibrant spider-like flowers in shades of yellow, orange and red. Flowering from January to March, this strong, winter-hardy shrub offers colour, fragrance and structure in the quietest season of the year.
Hamamelis is slow-growing, long-living and ideal as a specimen shrub in borders and parks. Its autumn colour adds a second seasonal highlight, making it a valuable year-round addition to any assortment.
Hamamelis intermedia ‘Westerstede’
‘Westerstede’ stands out with its warm copper-orange flowers, creating a rich winter display. It has a slightly more compact and dense habit compared to yellow varieties, making it highly attractive for premium winter assortments. The autumn foliage turns to glowing shades of orange and red. Available in P9.

Hamamelis intermedia ‘Feuerzauber’
This striking variety produces intense copper-red to deep orange flowers that truly stand out in the winter garden.

In autumn, the foliage turns warm shades of orange and red, extending its ornamental value beyond the flowering season. Available in P9 and C2.
