Notes
'Orange Beauty' Japanese witch hazel (Hamamelis intermedia 'Orange Beauty') is a shrub for borders, hedges, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The deep yellow to orange yellow flowers are fragrant and open in winter and early spring. It also shows fall color, and it grows wide, so give it plenty of room.
Pairs well with Lenten rose, Common snowdrop, and Springwood White tree heath.
