Hamamelis x Intermedia Orange Beauty-Witch Hazel in 9 cm Pot

The Witch Hazels are a superb winter flowering plant. Originating from Eastern North America and Eastern Asia. Those commonly grown in our gardens are nearly all from cultivation. Anyone looking for winter colour would do well to consider these beautiful small shrubs with their unusual spidery flowers and many have a delicious, sweet fragrance. Hamamelis x intermedia is a cross between Chinese witch hazel (Hamamelis mollis) and Japanese witch hazel (Hamamelis japonica). Hamamelis x intermedia Orange Beauty is a lovely vase shaped plant that bears prolific clusters of very fragrant, spidery, bright yellow orange flowers that mature to orange red, on bare branches from December to February. In autumn its bright green leaves turn to stunning shades of red and orange. It makes an excellent cut flower. This shrub can be grown in a pot or container. When growing in a pot or other container. Use a good quality, ericaceous John Innes compost. These plants are not ericaceous, but for best results they prefer a slightly acid soil. Ensure you feed regularly as a hungry plant is a poor performer. We recommend Osmoscote pro 8-9 month applied in the early spring. One application gives all the nutrients the plant requires for the whole year.
