DESCRIPTION
Hamamelis mollis, commonly known as Chinese witch hazel, is a deciduous shrub that produces bright golden-yellow flowers in mid to late winter. The blooms, which consist of narrow, crinkled petals, emerge along bare branches and emit a strong, sweet fragrance, making them a standout feature in the winter landscape. As the seasons progress, its broad, oval green leaves turn shades of yellow and orange in autumn, adding another layer of seasonal interest.
Native to China, Hamamelis mollis is one of the most fragrant and free-flowering witch hazel species. It was first introduced to Europe in the 19th century and has since become a parent to many popular hybrids. Compared to other species, H. mollis is known for its intense fragrance, vibrant flower color, and slightly larger blooms, making it a favorite for winter gardens. Its ability to flower abundantly even in cold conditions further sets it apart from other witch hazels.
