Hamamelis x intermedia 'Jelena'

Jelena' Hamamelis x intermedia is a striking, well-branched Witch Hazel. In summer, the spreading stems are cloaked in unremarkable green foliage, blending into the background while other plants take center stage. With the arrival of autumn, this hardy shrub comes into its own, its leaves turning bright red and yellow. It is at its peak in January, with fragrant, spidery blooms in a rich shade of copper-orange adorning the naked branches. A winter-flowering shrub ideal for woodland gardens and winter borders. Height and spread: 4m (13?).
