Hamamelis x intermedia Aphrodite - Witch Hazel

Bring vibrant colour and fragrance to your winter garden with Hamamelis × intermedia 'Aphrodite'. This stunning deciduous shrub is prized for its fiery orange, ribbon-like flowers that bloom in mid to late winter, releasing a delightful spicy fragrance. The striking blossoms contrast beautifully against its bare branches, adding warmth to the cold months. In autumn, the broad green leaves turn rich shades of gold, red, and orange, offering a spectacular seasonal display. Growing to around 3m in height and spread, 'Aphrodite' makes an excellent focal point in borders, woodland gardens, or as part of a mixed shrub planting.

Plant in moist but well-drained, acidic to neutral soil in full sun or partial shade. It thrives in sheltered positions and benefits from mulching to retain moisture. Minimal pruning is needed—simply remove dead or crossing branches after flowering. Pair with early-flowering hellebores or evergreen shrubs for year-round interest.

Supplied in approx 5 litre containers
