One of the finest of the yellow witch hazels, this delightful selection produces a prolific crop of large and sweetly-fragrant yellow ribbon-like flowers each year. This cultivar blooms somewhat later in spring than other varieties and over a longer period to extend the season. Becomes an upright spreading vase-shaped shrub to 12-20' with lovely yellow fall color. This selection was a Royal Horticultural Society of Great Britain Award of Garden Merit plant in 1993. S-PSh/M
