Hamamelis mollis - Witch Hazel

January 15th - Witch Hazel at Great Comp Garden in Kent.

I make no apologies for including yet a further Witch Hazel - one of the oldest, yet still one of the best varieties - Hamamelis mollis.

Hamamelis (Witch Hazels) can be grown in most soils that are slightly acid or neutral. They should be grown in either full sun or light shade. They are a natural 'woodland' plant, can grow to around 4m, and require very little attention by way of pruning. Gorgeous Autumn foliage colour -in keeping with most of the varieties available - ranging through yellow to orange and reds.

The Hamamelis mollis will do much to brighten up the garden - especially if it can catch some of that low winter sunshine we sometimes get.
