Fothergilla gardenii | Dwarf Fothergilla

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Fothergilla gardenii produces fragrant white bottlebrush flowers in early to mid spring, each bloom composed of soft filaments that create a feathery cluster along the branches. The blossoms appear just as the foliage begins to emerge. Rounded blue-green leaves unfold soon after, forming a dense canopy that develops warm shades of orange, red, and gold in autumn.

Native to the southeastern United States, particularly coastal regions from North Carolina to Florida, Fothergilla gardenii grows naturally in woodland edges and open landscapes. In gardens it adds seasonal interest to borders, woodland plantings, and native landscapes where the spring flowers and vibrant fall foliage bring changing color.
