Hamamelis - Witch Hazels

Known for their spellbinding, fragrant blooms that brighten the coldest days, Witch Hazels (Hamamelis) are a must-have for any gardening wishing to be beguiled by the beauty and scent of their flowers which can be expected to appear through winter each year. The earliest varieties can come in to colour as early as the Winter Soltice on the shortest day of the year, and bloom right through to late winter to be joined by snowdrops and crocus as they start to appear.

Delight in the unique charm of varieties like 'Jelena' with its coppery-orange flowers, or 'Diane,' celebrated for her deep red petals. Not only do these plants offer spectacular winter colours, but they also bring an enchanting fragrance to your garden when most other plants are dormant. Come autumn, you can expect dazzling foliage colours too from buttery golden yellow to scarlet reds.

Witch Hazels are remarkably easy to care for, thriving in various garden settings and requiring minimal maintenance. They provide exceptional value, as Hamamelis are well known to live for decades, rewarding you year after year with their resilient beauty and captivating presence.  Choose from our huge selection of true winter blooming Witch Hazels below and add drama to your garden today.
