Thompson & Morgan Hamamelis x intermedia Jelena Witch Hazel Shrub 9cm Pot

Thompson & Morgan

Hamamelis intermedia 'Jelena' is an eye-catching, well branched Witch Hazel. The spreading stems are cloaked in green foliage in summer, blending gently into the background while other plants take centre stage. With the onset of autumn, this hardy shrub steps into the spotlight, its leaves turning to bright red and yellow. By January it is at its best, with fragrant, spidery blooms, in a rich shade of copper-orange, that adorn the naked branches. An excellent winter-flowering shrub for woodland gardens and winter borders that will be sure to catch the eye and make a difference during those colder winter months.Grow Witch Hazel in borders in non-alkaline, rich fertile, well-drained soil. Choose a position in full sun or semi shade. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost into the soil to improve its structure and fertility. Feed and water regularly throughout the growing season until young plants become established. Hamamelis will require some pruning in spring, immediately after flowering. Remove any damaged or diseased stems and lightly shape the plant. After pruning, apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the shrub.Position: Full Sun/Partial ShadeHeight: Up to 4m when fully establishedSpread: Up to 4m when fully establishedSupplied as 2x Hamamelis intermedia ‘Jelena’ (Witch Hazel) in a 9cm Pot.Delivered with growing and care instructionsImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
