DESCRIPTION
Hamamelis vernalis 'Purpurea’ is a deciduous shrub native to the Ozark Plateau in central North America, encompassing regions of Missouri, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. This cultivar blooms from late winter into early spring, producing fragrant flowers with burgundy-purple, ribbon-like petals that emerge along its leafless branches. The blossoms provide a vibrant display during a time when few other plants are in bloom.
A distinguishing feature of 'Purpurea' is its unique floral coloration; while the species typically exhibits rusty orange flowers, this cultivar showcases rich burgundy-purple hues. Additionally, its autumn foliage transitions to shades of yellow and orange, adding seasonal interest. The combination of its early blooming period, distinctive flower color, and attractive fall foliage makes 'Purpurea' a noteworthy selection among witch hazel cultivars.
