    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Lovely Chinese witch hazel, shared with us by Nurseries Carolinianas, this with intense cherry red flowers in late winter to early summer and sporadically throughout the year. Lovely evergreen shrub, medium sized to 4-6' tall and wide, with burgundy leaves -- darker in more sun. Great garden accent. Full sun to bright shade with consistent summer water. Overhead protection provides an extra cushion against winter cold. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8.
