Hamamelis x intermedia 'Orange Beauty' | Orange Beauty Witch Hazel
DESCRIPTION
Hamamelis x intermedia 'Orange Beauty' is a deciduous shrub that produces vibrant orange-yellow flowers with long, ribbon-like petals. These flowers bloom in late winter to early spring, typically from January to March, providing a burst of color during the colder months. The flowers are mildly fragrant, adding a pleasant scent to the winter garden, and are followed by rich, yellow to orange foliage in the fall, which enhances the plant's seasonal appeal.

Known for its resilience and beautiful flowers, 'Orange Beauty' has become a popular choice for adding warmth and visual interest to winter gardens or larger landscapes.
