Hamamelis x intermedia 'Feuerzauber'

Common Name: 'Feuerzauber' (Firecharm) Witchhazel

Hamamelis × intermedia ‘Feuerzauber’ is a deciduous shrub valued for its warm-toned winter flowers and graceful form. Oval green leaves emerge in spring, form a full canopy through summer, and turn shades of yellow, orange, and red in fall, while clusters of narrow, ribbon-like flowers appear in late winter to early spring in rich orange to coppery-red tones, often with a light fragrance. Its glowing flower color brings warmth to the winter landscape.
