Notes

'Rotblättrige Zellernuss' hazelnut (Corylus avellana 'Rotblättrige Zellernuss') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, hedges, and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It has an erect habit that suits a hedge. The flowers open in early to late spring, and birds visit the shrub.

Pairs well with Lenten rose, Christmas fern, Sedge, and Foxglove.
