Was discovered by Wada at Hakoneya Nursery, Japan. The flowers are golden yellow at the tip of the flower and deep red at the base. The overall effect is orange-coppery in late winter. 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.

For pale orange flowers, Chris Lane (who holds the British National Collection of Witch Hazels) recommends 'Glowing Embers. A bit of a challenge to establish but well worth the trouble. The flowers are large, lightly scented, with yellowish petals at the tips but then reddening toward the base -- like glowing embers the overall effect from a distance is light orange! Has a wide-spreading habit.
