Plant of the Month: Hamamelis - A vibrant splash of colour
|
|
|
Hamamelis are one of the most distinct and beautiful genus of shrubs of small trees. They can be used to add height to the back of borders. Their spider-like yellow or red flowers appear on the leafless branches from early Winter to Spring creating a vibrant splash of colour during the dull winter months, whilst their leaves offer spectacular Autumn colour.
As a general rule, the yellow varieties have the best scent. Hamamelis is generally pest- and disease-free, making it easy to grow. They require a well drained fertile soil that is acidic / neutral - not chalky! Preferring a shady spot out of direct sun, avoid exposed / cold areas. Plant in autumn - prune sparingly to shape.
