Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The narrow foliage is ½ x 3” and is deep green. Will make a handsome shrub with striking foliage and small red flowers.
Stunning thin-leafed variant on the typical form of the species which usually sports leathery leaves perhaps 4X wider than this rare selection from the Witch Hazel Family. This does not seem as determinedly upright as the typical species so expect a multi-stemmed textural delight. Small yellowish flowers with reddish anthers in late winter won't stop traffic but are still darned welcome.
