Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Lovely and unusual, the plum colored, ribbon-like blooms emit a spicy fragrance when they make their much anticipated appearance in mid-winter. This 8-10' rounded bush with its dark-gray-green crinkled foliage is a delight year round! The scarlet fall color is another of its fine attributes to look forward to! S-PSh/M

Hamamelis vernalis 'Amethyst' has a bright purple flower in January-February. This plant has a much richer fall color than H. vernalis 'Purpurea'. Best with light behind the plant to highlight the flowers.

Amethyst is something brand new in Witch Hazel flower color. Amethyst blooms in February here, with a burst of lavender-purple flowers appearing on bare stems. Fragrant flowers fill the garden with clean witch hazel scent.
