Great video. Lovely plant. Wish I could smell the blooms. I have never heard anyone talk of using one decoratively in their garden. I don't know why because they look great in your video. There are a lot of Japanese maples around where I live in the city, and I like them, but a witch hazel might make for a nice little something different. I use the product witch hazel all the time. It's good after coming in out of the heat to cool off and freshen up before sitting down to take a break.
I have a nice size bush but it doesn't bloom. It's probably a different species. I live in Italy in the Central Appenine. Any info you could provide ? Thank you.
HI Adela. I'm not sure. There are a few species, but they all bloom. Some bloom in fall before the leaves have fallen so the flowers aren't as noticeable.
Hi Diane. Good question. I don't know much about the climate in San Antonio. There is a witch hazel called Hamameils virginiana that is native to the southern US. It blooms in fall instead of winter. That might be one to look into. It's funny how the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. I'm always trying to grow succulents and other plants that need a little more warmth and sun than we get here in Seattle :)
I bought a random large hazel with no name it blooms when the leaves are dropping I want to think its the hamamelis that grows here in the Appalachian mountains does anyone know???? Any input would be appreciated
@@HowDoesYourGardenGrow lol I'm the same person that channel is dead I'm pretty sure it is the native. I found it suckering this past fall when i piked its fall leaves to show its flowers. Do you think that a native that i bought here in its native environment would be grafted?? I almost left them but didn't take any chances. I love anything with winter interest my Diane witch hazel is in full bloom wish it'd grow faster lol. I got an arnolds promise the other day so Diane would have a buddy lol. Love these trees slash shrubs

is there any witch hazel that can live in warmer climates? I live 60 miles SE from San Antonio Texas.

I forgot where they live but you can look it up ;/
:/
Howdy, I'm also from Texas and I just found this link. I hope it helps.

Quick question: what is the growing habit of a vernal witch hazel? Is it open enough to allow shrubs to grow in it’s understory?
I'm not sure. I would think so, but I'm not as familiar with that species.

It might be Hamamelis virginana, which blooms in the fall and is native to the eastern United States
