All hamamelis listed by Gossler Farms in the Fall/Spring 2024/2025 catalog are hardy to at least -12° in their Springfield, Oregon garden, and all are grafted plants.

One of the very best of the red-flowering forms! The wonderfully spicy-fragrant, red to copper, thread-like, crinkled blooms on this gorgeous shrub are a real winter treat! Blooming as early as January, when you really need flowers! This 8-12' high and wide-spreading cultivar also provides handsome shades of yellow-orange-red fall color; magnificent at the woodlands edge. S-PSh/M

Witch hazels are magnificent large shrubs, typically with a spreading habit. 'Diane' features mildly fragrant, dark copper-red flowers in late winter (March here, January in the south) followed by medium green leaves that turn varied shades of yellow, orange, red, and burgundy in autumn. They do best in partial shade and fertile, well-drained soil.

Astounding copper red to red petals with purple red calyx. Mildly fragrant, the petals turn bronze with age. Yellow, orange, red fall color is one of the best If you're more into the color of blooms and foliage than the fragrance, you can't beat this one. While there are shadings in the petals, the effect from a distance is near red.
