Notes
'Sunburst' Japanese witch hazel (Hamamelis intermedia 'Sunburst') 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. It bears fragrant yellow flowers, and the leaves turn color in fall. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Acid to neutral soil suits it best.
Pairs well with September Charm anemone, Blue fescue, Japanese maple, and Greig's tulip.
