Hamamelis x intermedia ‘Diane’

 

Witch hazels (Hamamelis) are beautiful and useful shrubs for gardens large and small. They have a vase-shaped architecture clad in large, textured, hazel-like leaves that turn gorgeous colours of yellow, orange, red and purple in fall. In December and January they come into bloom flowering along the naked branches with petals like ruffled ribbons. ‘Diane’ has gorgeous red to copper-red, mildly fragrant flowers that light up as if on fire when the winter light shines through them.
