Notes
'Savill Starlight' Japanese witch hazel (Hamamelis intermedia 'Savill Starlight') 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. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It bears yellow petals, and the bloom time listed spans winter, spring, and autumn. It grows 47 to 59 inches tall and 59 to 83 inches wide, so give it room.
Pairs well with Juneberry, Grape hyacinth, and Monkshood.
